I thank
Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me
faithful, appointing me to his service.
1 Timothy 1:12
Most days as we embark on our daily routine, it may not seem like our
lives have any special meaning or purpose; the truth is, each one of us
is special and we all have a purpose. God, the ruler of all creation has
chosen us to make eternal and lasting impacts. Regardless of what we do
to make a living, we have been called to a greater purpose of sharing
the love, truth and hope of Jesus Christ. When we share a kind and
encouraging word, love those who are unlovable, or are inconvenienced in
the middle of the night to answer a call for help, when we provide food
and shelter for those less fortunate, we are sharing the love of Christ.
This is the purpose that gives meaning to our lives. We are God's hands
extended to the world. When He touches them through us, they will surely
see Him in us. Regardless of our job title or the position we may hold,
there is no work of greater importance. As we face this new day and
begin our routines, let’s not forget or neglect our most important task
of the day, and that is our service to Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Prayer
What a joy and a privilege to be in Your service. Remind us today, of
all the things we have on our agenda, the most important, is the tasks
You have laid before us. Give us the strength and the faith to fulfill
Your purpose today. Allow the light of Your love to shine through us,
leaving no doubt to whom we belong and serve, in Jesus name, Amen.
