follow the Leader

Today during Bible study my thoughts were being provoked.
I wrote this, this morning.

When I think of all I’ve done in life, have I lived to worship You? Have I given you my all, have I let you guide my way? These questions burn inside my head as I wonder why, why I deserve the love You give and how I give You thanks. I come before You, bow before Your throne.
Thank you Lord, You’ve saved my life. Use me at Your will. Be my hands and my feet, help me to be like You!

1 Corinthians 15:58- Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Even thought my job can be stressful and tiring I know that I will be rewarded because I’m doing it all for the glory of the Lord. It’s hard sometimes to not have pride for the things I do, but He will bring justice to all things. This verse reminds me of verses in Luke and Matthew. Matthew 25:21- “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness.”
How I hope to hear Him say that to me someday. I want to keep striving to do what He wants, and put aside the things I want.
