The Wasted Life

I must admit that serving in fcbc has kept me busy in ministry almost the whole time (smtimes to the point where i dun hav time worrying abt things). Its good to sit down n do self-reflection every once in a while. But i discover i must also be careful w my thots bcuz vain thots will try to set themselves in also, seeking to oppose whatever God is trying to do.



I was reading thru some old posts n quite amazed at some of the things i write. Come to think of it, i muz hav been really demoralised to write all tat. Maybe i wasn't happy working in crush after all. The book 'Successful leadership thru the G12" tells me that serving Jesus is not a waste. I have questioned before whether all the things I'm doing for Jesus have been a waste of time. I could hav gotten a better degree, a better paying job, maybe a car now, less headaches and more rest if i dun do the things that i did. But i cannot, becuz the power of the spirit is strong within me. Even if its a waste, Jesus says whoever loses his life for him will find it. And i've always remembered that. God never lies. So I ask myself why I'm serving Him again -



"To waste one's life in christ brings the most extraordinary satisfaction. Seeing thousands of lives and families transformed by the power of God produces a joy so special, that it is difficult to find anything in this world that surpasses it. The best decision that a human being can make is to invest every day of his life serving God." -Ps CCD



Somehow my heart and my spirit affirms that. And i recognise, for watever reason, that i will stick to this command, so that i can always have a clear conscience before God. Nothing is wasted when invested in Jesus.
