For Today

You’re a dead man that feels alive. If you call this a thrill…Come check out my world! My heart and flesh cry out to You The Living God!

The bible says that God gave gifts to men in Ephesians, but the Greek transliteration actually reads “God gave men as gifts”. I hadn’t thought too much about this when I first saw it, but it struck me. You see, everything in you was sown into you - your enthusiasm, your curiosity, your humour, your interest in people. God didn’t just prepare a life for you. He prepared You for a life. So everything good you see in yourself, every knack, skill, talent or gift, is there for manifestation at an appointed time. Everything He does, He does for a reason. With Him, nothing goes to waste, nothing is mistaken or misplaced. The deeper you look into what He does, the more specificity you’ll find. As you’ve given yourself and continue to give yourself over to Him, He will use you up, I guarantee it. It’s a good thing to be able to reach that finish line, completely exhausted of all resources - why else would you welcome an eternal rest? :) He came to give you life, and life more abundantly. He is fullness, and you will be full with everything He uses you to do (Ps 81:10).

One man gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

People curse the man who hoards grain,
but blessing crowns him who is willing to sell.

Make it a goal that when a guy looks at you, he will notice the light of Christ in your eyes, and the radiance of your smile, rather than being distorted by the outline of your body.
