Judging yourself with sober judgment is near impossible in a Facebook gazing, self-marketing world. But that is our call.

We need to live in this powerful realization: “I am part of the Body of Christ and what I contribute matters. It may not be noticed or blogged about or trumpeted by others. It may not go viral. But it matters.”

God has given me a measure of faith for my assignment. I am to understand my gifts and live in my assignment. 

When all is said and done, Jesus isn’t going to look at how many “Likes” I had on Facebook. He is going to examine how I did with the faith measured out to me. Do I understand the gifts Christ has given to me? Am I being equipped in those gifts? Am I using those gifts?

The power of transformational life is the ability to live joyfully for Christ alone without regard to the measures others may have in their lives, or the measures others may want to put on our lives.

Lord, I need renewed thinking in my life today. May my body, my spirit, my mind be laid before you so you can do with my life as you will. You are King… I am your apprentice.
