Acts 20:24 ~ “But nothing, not even my life, is more important than my completing my mission. This is nothing other than the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus: to testify about the good news of God’s grace.” (CEB)
I pride myself on the fact that I am always at church, I mean, I hate missing service. Out of the 104 opportunities (Sundays and Wednesdays) we get every year, I typically get in at least 100. Special events, church meetings, seminars and conferences, I’m there. If awards for church attendance were to be given out, I would surely be a recipient. I am focused on being the best ME that I can be. I want to be as close as possible to Him, to have Him say to ME, “servant well done”. How selfish is that?! I spend a lot of time reading, praying and studying, but none of those things matter if I can't account for having brought one soul to Him. I want to remind us today that there is nothing more important than the ministry God left for us to do. We HAVE to be about our Father’s business. (Luke 2:49) Just because you are safe and secure in your position does not give you the right to stop there. Everyone deserves a chance to hear how good God is, whether or not they choose to accept Him is on them. Don’t deny someone the opportunity to experience the grace and mercy that you so graciously receive….tell someone about Christ today!
