Next month I will cross the half way point in my life. Turing 35 is no big deal, but as I look back and see where I have been and how I have changed I am forced to look into the next 35 years. What will this next half have in store for me? What things will I see, hear, experience, or even create. At this point I am mindful of Paul’s words in Corinthians. “I have become all things to all people in order that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I might share with them in the blessing.” I pray that my next half will so clearly forsake all else and allow my mind and heart to be that of Paul in order that I may give all, be all, and do all, within my God-given ability to see others come to Christ.
“What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?” We acknowledge it is worth nothing. May my commitment be such that others will know where my treasure truly lay. Let it all be done for the Glory of the only glorious one Jesus Christ.
