Acceptance and appreciation
go hand-in-hand
During this last year, I came to realize that I needed help in developing Powerful Question to its full potential. And, while I knew how to ask for help, help only arrived when I was able to accept and appreciate what others were offering.
Example: I might have a plumbing problem and decide I needed a specific kind of wrench. The salesman at the hardware, a seasoned pro, suggests other ways of attacking the problem. Am I open to his suggestions, or do I insist on getting that wrench because my history with plumbing says a leaky pipe needs a wrench?
My wrenches were not helping Powerful Question grow. Feeling frustrated and powerless, I began praying and turned it over to God. Shortly after, people started offering help that I could finally accept and appreciate. Powerful Questions change the world. The only thing more powerful is prayer.
