How Are You Spending Your Days?
I met a friend today while shopping and in conversation about this new ministry she remarked that life was short and that she wanted to spend the rest of her days doing something for the Lord that made a real difference. It got me to thinking: How am I spending my days? We only have a certain number of them and we can choose how we spend them. For many life is spent selfishly. For others it’s spent in their little world of religion, family and friends. How many lives have you touched for Christ? How many children other than your own family have you loved, cried over, prayed for, touched? How many have we fed? How many have we reached out to unconditionally? How many have we had in our homes and at our tables that couldn’t afford to “return the favor”? How many? Only you can answer that question. It’s personal. For me – I’ve determined that life isn’t about how much money you make, how big the house you live in or how nice the car you drive. It’s about making a difference for HIM in the lives of others. It’s about reaching souls for the kingdom. I don’t have much time left on earth compared to eternity and I don’t want to spend it in useless meetings and things that really make no difference. Let’s spend it FOR HIM! Let’s make a difference. When life is over will others be able to look at your life and see that you loved Jesus and others more than yourself? If not – maybe we need to change some things. It’s my heart to try! Pastor James
