“Lengthening the Limbs” We must be effective at affecting all we come in contact with. Paul told Timothy to “fan into flames the gracious gift, fire, God had put in him.” You, Me, We, Together, have been given gifts to use in the body of Christ. These gifts, fully fueled, fanned, and focused for operation in the Kingdom, are far-reaching, immense, intense, and impactful in this world. The Father gives good and perfect gifts to His children. And be not deceived, you are a child of God and have received gifts from the Father. The Lord is extending our reach; let us assess, examine, and fan into flames the gifts we have been given.

Psychologist Daniel Goleman explains how a child's brain is shaped by experience—and why teaching focus and emotional intelligence early is critical. From breathing buddies to the marshmallow test, Goleman shows how attention and self-control predict lifelong success more than IQ or background.Source: Daniel Goleman on Focus: The Secret to High Performance and FulfilmentHosted by Sean CroxtonFollow me on Instagram
