But My Life Is Worth Nothing To Me Unless I Use It For Finishing The Work Assigned Me By The Lord Jesus


But My Life Is Worth Nothing To Me
Unless I Use It For Finishing The Work
Assigned Me By The Lord Jesus
Scripture
Acts 20
24 But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
Observation
Let's Finish Well. …
I wrote this blog on the morning of October 24, 2011. I didn't know that in just a few hours after writing it that our lives would change forever.
At 10 PM on October 24, 2011, I experienced a massive heart attack. Many of you prayed for my recovery. With less than a 5 % chance of survival after the 14-hour surgery it must have looked pretty gloomy to all of you who were praying for me.
But today Kathy and I will celebrate 8 more years of life because you prayed. This blog that I wrote 8 years ago is still the desire of my life!

I want to finish well. I want my life to count for the kingdom. I don't want to retire. I don't want to slow down. I want to finish well.
I want to make a difference in the lives of as many people as possible.
There has been a job that has been assigned to me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.

Do you want to finish well too?
Application
Today I want to count. I want to make a difference in someone's life.
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I want to finish well. I want to complete my task. I want You to smile at my life. Don't let me mess up. Don't let me settle for something less than what You have for me. Put people in my life today that need to hear about You.
Daily Bible Reading: Job 15; Acts 19,20
