I Want To Matter

Posted: January 27, 2009 in Uncategorized

I desperately want my life to matter.  I want to live my life in such a way that it makes a difference.  I want my life to impact the lives of the people around me in a postive way.  I want to be used by God to impact my community.  I want to live a life that is all about making the name of Jesus famous. 

It’s not a question of being recognized, honored, or regarded.  I don’t want position or influence or power.  Except, inasmuch as I can use any or all of those things to push forward the kingdom of God.

Luke 22:25-27 says that it is greater to serve.  I want to serve, but in my service I want to exalt God;  Psalm 108:4-6.  If influence or power means that it gives me opportunity to speak life into or over the people within my influence, than I want God to use me for that purpose.

I want God’s purpose to be fulfilled in my life.  I pray that every day He would continue to reveal to me His plan for my life.
