UP TO THE TASK

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me,

if only i may finish the race and accomplish the task

the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying

to the gospel of God's grace.

(ACTS 20:24)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is today the day I will learn to be an example of Your grace Lord? i hope so. I know that I have fallen short in the past. I start out with good intentions, but quickly drop them so I can reach for whatever suits me. Money. Success. Reputation. Status. These might reflect blessings from above, but they do little to share Your grace with those around me.

If I want to look back on my days with pleasure, I need to be productive as a servant, a helper, a caregiver, a friend, and a sharer of the gospel of Your grace.
