This post is a continuation of the post I did on Tuesday of this week. This morning I was reading a blog by a Pastor in SC and he said this "Jesus never apologized for asking people to make a commitment". I started to think about this and realized the kind of commitment that was required from his disciples. These men actually gave up life as they knew it to follow Jesus. He never promised them large salaries or high positions. He told them "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men" Matthew 4:19. I am not suggesting that anyone quit their job to follow Jesus. What I am saying is that we all need to make time to work in the Kingdom.
Sometimes we say we don't have time to do certain things, but we all make time for what is important to us. I have always tried to remember the truth that only what is done for the Kingdom of God will matter in eternity. It is so important that we use our gifts and talents for Him.
There have been a few times in my life that I have felt a little down about life. At those times I realized I was too focused on me. To get out of this I would have to get my focus off myself and go help someone else. It is amazing how this can turn your attitude around.
We have such loving and faithful people at VWC, I am always so grateful for the diligence and excellence I see in our leaders and teams. If you haven't gotten involved yet there are so many opportunities. You will be blessed.
