Driving home yesterday it came to me that Jesus lived into his early thirties, which I am nearing. He was only active for a few years in his ministry - probably less than I have been. I have seven years in now...I think. I am starting to loose track.
So, this is my question: What have I accomplished in that time? Just think about what Jesus accomplished in only a few years. A few years! Yes, I know Jesus was divine (God) and human. I know I am only human, but that doesn't excuse me. God sent His Son, because humans couldn't get it right. As a result we (including myself) have been learning the right way to live ever since. I know I could list off accomplishments - ways I loved like Jesus. That's not the point. I wonder how well I helped people to know Jesus. This is an unending task, especially at work. I have asked myself over and over again, was that the best way to share who Jesus was and who Jesus is with others, especially teens. Surely, people can come to know Jesus through my love without sharing verbally, but I truly believe in this time and place it does take more than just my way of life, my example. So many people do not know the story of Jesus - of His love and how much He desires to be in relationship with them. If I asked you, "Who is Jesus to Amy?" would you know? Would the people close to me know how to answer that at my funeral? I would hope this question could be answered well someday. Who is Jesus to you? Is there a relationship there? Do you call Him friend? There's always so much to share, because the Holy Spirit is always at work, revealing something from God to us! This is what I want to share with you. It is my hope to show you more of God's love to inspire you to action - whatever it may be. amye.
