Musing: Giving your life away

Musing: Giving your life away

I truly hope you have discovered the joy of giving your life away. If Jesus came to serve shouldn’t we do likewise?

Jesus served:

• Matthew 20:28 “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Yes, I know there are seasons in our lives that we might not be serving but there are also seasons that we are being called to serve. 

Paul served:

• Philippians 2:17 Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

Have you heard the Macedonian Call? It is calling to each of us.

• Acts 16:9 “And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”

Can you hear “Come over to Macedonia (name your location) and help us.”

Have you heard that you are in needed as Jesus told his disciples that the donkey for him to ride on was needed?

• Luke 19:31O “And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’ 

Are you looking for joy? Perhaps we need to consider:

John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”

Giving your life away is our calling…
