My life.
“But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself. If only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24
Is it possible to live this way without facing the same kind of persecution Paul faced or that believers face all over the world today? I’m going to do my best to live this way!
My heart belongs to Jesus and I know my life only counts for how I make Him and His Gospel known in whatever circumstances I will face. I will not evaluate my life based on Twitter followers, or blog hits, or Facebook friends, or invitations to parties, or meetings with important and prominent people, or the conferences I attend, or the hip or chic way I dress, or the way certain people respect my opinion, or the good advice I give, or the way I excel in business, or even in raising well-behaved children and being a breadwinner for my wife…
My value – all of it – comes from using my life to tell of Jesus and the good news of God’s grace!
Lord, may these words sink in! May they reach my heart, change my thinking, and move me to action!
thinking about you chris. Much Love. Jump
Thanks. :-)
