Jesus has called us to be humble. The lowly inherit the Kindgom of God.
So why is it that we strive for greatness? For fame? To go down in history?
I’ve struggled with this thought for a long time, and I know the fight is not over.
The daily struggle to seek the face of the Lord and follow His will rather than do something to glorify myself. You know, something “cool!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I’m sure you do too; that’s why I wrote this, to encourage you. I want you to know that even though you aren’t doing anything classified as “totally awesome” or “wow” to the world, as long as you are in HIS will for your life, there’s nothing greater you could do. Be content with where He has put you, and do not be discouraged. Your life may be normal, but that’s the decision you made when you gave Him control.
You chose everlasting life rather than the temporal things of this world.
I commend you, Christian Soldier.
