Last Night
God is wonderful. Jesus is wonderful. I have to believe that no matter what, I can say, "Blessed be the name of the Lord."
Last night I went to my Community Group. It was the last one for a couple of weeks. I will sure miss going. I have learned so much....and I learned so much last time.
Basically, what keeps me going? Why do I continue to wake up every morning, go about my business, go to church, email people, etc. etc. ? Especially these past couple of weeks, where I have felt pretty much nothing but hurt and confusion?
Ryan, our facilitator, showed a clip from Castaway. The main character was talking about what kept him going, even when he thought he was going to die on the island. He said that knowing that the sun was going to rise the next morning was what kept him going.
Yes, I have messed up so many times in my life. I have focused on other things than God. I have so often been selfish in my friendships and relationships. I have seen Jesus as a me-me-me proposition.
It's not about me, folks. It's just not. I am here to serve God. I am here to glorify Him in my life.
So, why do I keep going? Knowing that I do make a difference in people's life. Knowing that somewhere, there will be a person to whom I will mean the world. Knowing that God made me special, with so many things to offer. Knowing that I can use my talents to glorirfy Him.
