Don't waste life

What have I been doing with my life? Wasting it. Totally wasting it.

I've been yet again reminded, that life, is not mine to keep, but it is mine to give, give totally for the sake of Christ being magnified - that people might come to see the AWEsomeness, of God. With that AWE, they can't help, but to turn to Him, to in turn give their lives for this same purpose.

Many of us, me included, think that we deserve to live. Each moment, each decision, everything deserves to go in the direction that we delight, that we will find pleasure in, forgetting that as Christ has given it, He can and will take it away from us in His time.

We can make all the plans we want in life, as simple, as grand as it maybe. But the bottom line is this:
One life t'will soon be past, only what is done for Christ will last.


The children I save from starvation in Africa, the peers I save from failure in examinations, it won't matter and it wouldn't mean a single thing, unless it was done so that they may come to know Christ and to repent.

God, only You can help me to change from my ways, to help me to make much of You all of my days:
Through my pains
Through my joys
Through the worst of times
Through the best of times
Through my life
Through my death

Let the life that You have given me to be lived, in a way that You, in all Your glory and Your awesomeness, be made known to the people around me.
