Something Worth Remembering...

Not every great investment yields great fruit. But there are times when even great investments yield fruit that you never could have dreamed or imagined in the first place. For this I praise God today - for always working, and for allowing me to join Him.

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!
