Eye Spy: Get a Clue About What to Do

GOD VIEW: The connection between INITIATIVE and God's character, as shown through God's Big Story.

Getting started can sometimes seem like the hardest part of meeting a need. But it actually starts before then. First we have to see the needs around us. Initiative isn’t just some practical principle; it’s really a spiritual principle that starts with God. God took initiative on our behalf by seeing that our relationship was broken and needed to be fixed. So God sent Jesus to make it right. And because we are made in God’s image, we are wired to be able to take initiative and get things done too.

INITIATIVE: Seeing what needs to be done and doing it.

MEMORY VERSE: "None of you should look out for just your own good. Each of you should also look out for the good of others." (Philippians 2:4 NIrV)
