"He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My Sake will find it."
Matt 10:39
It is important to note that the life that we live not centered on His will and purpose will not bear the fruits He desired. We will be judged by our productivity and the fruit we produce.
The servant who had one talent, feared losing his only talent, hid it. He ended up losing both the talent and the trust the Master has on him. He lost in the end. This world we live in is an assignment, not home.
Watch and pray that you do not get contended without Christ purpose. Contentment without His purpose is just coexistence with the devil. We are called to live our lives from glory to glory.
Does your life match up to the expectation?
Once I heard my friend said something to justify his own desire rather than keeping the truth , doing the right thing. And it goes something like this:" I don't know if I should live my life satisfying others expectation of me, or just to live and be happy with myself."
I have now found the answer.
This life we live is for the audience of One. Anything that is contrary to what God stands for, to what He said in the word is the "cross" that we must live and learn to die to. It's not about passing others expectation of us, but living our lives right before God through His grace.
Build your life upon the Rock and not sands. For when the storm comes, whatever that is pleasurable, whatever that may seem satisfying...whatever that has no eternal value will fade and pass away.
What's left? Will you be happy with what's left?
Store up treasures in heaven. Do not forget about your heavenly reward. For what is seemingly good here may not last for eternity.
God is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him and keep His word.
My prayer is that we all learn to live this life for Him. Take a little risk. Move a little close to the edge. Rely a little more on His leading.
Remember this, "Life in this world is a assignment, not home."
