The WHY Behind Who I Am...
-Acts 20:24 CEV
Observation
Wow! Paul kicks things off in verse 24 off by making a huge statement, “I don’t care what happens to me, as long as I finish the work of the Lord gave me to do.”
Application
Personal questions / Application: ?Do I care what happens to me?
Answer: Yes, I do care what happens to me! And I am okay with that... I am not Paul... and I am not wired like Paul... Yes, I want to follow where ever Jesus leads me, but do I care what happens to me, my family, and my friends...
Answer: For me it’s been..... time.... interaction with him via his word.... more time..... prayer.... more time..... worship.... more time.....
- Love God. How? Interact with his word (bible), prayer, worship.... aka. time with him.
- Love others as I love myself. How? Applying his word to my life.... aka. living out his word for my life.
- Make disciples of all nations. How? To tell the good news about God’s gift of underserved grace via making room to do life with others.
Prayer
God, here I am.... please send me.... use me... Lord, capture my heart.... help me love others as I love myself.... and help me make disciples of all nations - telling others the Good News about YOUR gift of underserved grace that you FREELY EXTEND TO ME..... -Trevor
