Question for the day:
* How do I see myself right now?
* What image do I portray to the world from the stand point I am?
* When my name is mentioned, what thought, image, picture, do they get?
Quick checks:
- You can be busy without a purpose. If you want your life to have impact, focus it!
- Purpose always produces passion.
- Passion dissipates when you lack purpose.
We are only fully alive when we’re helping others.
Jesus said, “If you insist on saving your life, you will lose it. Only those who throw away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means to really live.
This truth is so important that it is repeated five times in the Gospels. If you aren’t serving, you’re just existing, because life is meant for ministry.
Service and Significance
You are going to give your life for something. What will it be— a career, a sport, a hobby, fame, wealth? None of these will have lasting significance.
It is through ministry that we discover the meaning of our lives. The Bible says, “Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body.
What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.
Key take away for the day: How am I donating my life to God’s purpose on earth right now?
Prayer Points:
Prayer point:
* Lord open my eyes to see who you see me to be right now.
* Lord, scale away old eyes I use to see myself which limits the capacity you’ve put inside of me (imagine buying a Ferrari and using it for just 60mps for its whole lifetime) — what a waste.
