I really like this
statement by the Apostle Paul. It is a
real challenge to me. Do I really
consider my life to be worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work God has
assigned to me? I have always lived my
life striving to do what God has given me to do ever since I gave Him all of my
heart. For me, life simply is not worth
it if I am not doing with it what God wants for it.
In order for this
statement to be true of any heart, we must first know what it is that God wants
us to do with our lives. I have heard so
many people over the years who never have seemed to have settled this issue for
their lives. It's really not too hard to
know what God wants you to do. It begins
with a fully surrendered heart before Him.
A fully surrender
heart is one who holds nothing back from the Lord. It is one who sees himself as God's and not
his own. It is one who is willing to do
anything or go anywhere the Lord wants him to do with no strings attached. Anything short of a fully surrendered heart
and it becomes very difficult to discern God's will for one's life.
The main thing we are
all called to do is to tell others the Good News about God's kindness and
love. The means to do that will vary,
but the mandate is the same. We are to
tell others about God's love and saving grace.
Each of us has a mandate from God to be His ambassadors. We are expected by God to let our lights
shine in the world and to influence the world for Christ. If you are not doing that, you are living in
disobedience to God; you are not doing His will for you. Make the most out of your life and make it
count. Do all that the Lord has given you to do, be a voice for Him in the
world.
