Don't Waste Your Life
By the miracle of God's common grace of reproduction, there has never been anyone in the whole history of the world exactly like you and me, and there never will be again. We have only one life, and our whole duty is to obey God and live our life as He would have us live it.
Just like Esther of old, if we are a Christian believer, we are here for such a time as this. We have a responsibility to be salt and light in the darkness.Just like John the Baptist of N.T,may we also be one walking on earth like a shining light in darkness leading those in darkness to the light of God's Kingdom through Jesus Christ. The Bible says:
"He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good." (Eccl. 11:4-6)
Life is a challenge and ministry is full of challenges. So, do not look for excuses. Don't listen to someone who draws your attention away from the calling of God. Do respond to the call now and go and serve Him right where you are.Do something that will make a positive difference in the lives of people with the word of God. Because there is no greater joy than to invest who we are and what we have in the lives of people that He created for His glory.
May you respond to this urgent call today and serve Him by serving people in love and in humility.
Sincerely in Christ,
Philip & Dante Lian
