"How shall I feel at the judgement, if multitudes of missed opportunities pass before me in full review, and all my excuses prove to be disguises of my cowardice and pride?" -Dr. W.E. Sangster, from Why Revival Tarries.
This is a sobering and convicting thought for me to dwell on, only because of the truth that it pierces me with! How often is this me, hiding behind justifications in my own mind, not living in the pure freedom and God-given passion that comes from being completely abandoned to Jesus? I don't want to look back to see if I'm making the right impression or pleasing the right people. Am I pleasing God? Am I going at the call of God and never stopping? Jesus, open my eyes to the hurting people around me and enable me to love them!
"Their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality." 2 Corinthians 8:2.
O God, that I would be like that! Though I am impoverished in my ability to love, let me live my life in the liberality that overflows in the wealth of Your love.
