"Then the King
will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something
to eat ; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink ; I was a stranger,
and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited
Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'
"Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You
hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink ? 'And when did we see You a stranger, and
invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?
'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' "The King will answer and say to them,
'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of
Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.' Matthew 25:34-40
God has really been working on the true motives of my heart
lately. What is my purpose here on this
earth? A lot of my energy revolves
around my beloved family. Quite a bit is
also focused on my career. I would like
to change the world, but is it just another selfish want of mine to better my surroundings
and ensure my own personal gain?
You see, the only
goal of lasting value and fulfillment is actually serving Christ. As followers of Christ, we should all aim to model our
lives after Jesus and Him alone. Christ,
the King of all Kings, did not come to this earth to be served, but to serve.
When you look at what some believers have accomplished with
God’s help, it’s truly remarkable. The
Bible is filled with stories of everyday people doing extraordinary things with
God’s supernatural intervention. We all
like to make excuses for not tapping into the power of the Holy Spirit more
often. We may feel like we don’t have
enough experience or we have the wrong set of skills for the task at hand, but
we must remember that God will provide us with the right words to say, the
ability, and the circumstances so that we can achieve all He wants done.
We must live our lives every day in such a way that we yield
to God’s will and allow Him to provide us with what we need for today and today
alone.
