Stop Counting

It seems like forever since I have updated this. My 'plate' seems to be fuller than ever, and as a result things like these have fallen by the wayside.
What refreshes me, though, is that even when my plate is full God's voice can still be heard. If I listen closely enough I can hear His voice over all the other noise of life. This week He has reminded me that I should utterly loose myself in serving Him and others. Christ taught the 'second mile' as a way of life. For His listeners this would have meant to stop being so concerned with all that you had done, stop keeping track - just serve others without limits or restraints. What would it be like if I could love and serve others without consciousness - without even 'keeping track' - to utterly loose myself to the point that how much I do is not an issue, the primary issue is to love another human being towards Christ? I can tell you what my life would look like if I stopped counting - it would look like Christ's!
