The Journey of Life: Discovering who we are

The Journey of Life:  To Be God's people..."Embodying the love of Jesus Christ in the city and the world"!

The trail is long, and we won't arrive at our destination in this life.  Still we're on the journey with Jesus for the greatest thrill of our lives." Zig Ziglar

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10 

"I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve."-Albert Schweitzer

"Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose." Philippians 2: 12-13

"Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.: Philippians 1:8

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:24-25

 ●"The Lord created each of us individually with different Spiritual Gifts, Passions, Abilities, strengths and a unique personality with different experiences.  Helping each other put the pieces of the seeming puzzle together so we each can be most effective in our families, church, community and the world and finish our lives well and leave a legacy that gives glory to the LORD so when we stand before Him one day, we will hear, "Well done,  my good and faithful servant."

 Isn't that what we would like to hear one day?

Ability to see with the eyes of God, think with the mind of Christ, and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.

"The thing is to understand myself, to see what God wishes me to do...to find the idea for which I can live and die"-Soren Kierkegaard

  "The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” —William James

"God has created each of us with a unique contribution to make in our world and our times. No other person has our same abilities, motivations, network of friends and relationships, perspectives, ideas, or experiences. When we, like misplaced puzzle pieces, fail to show up, the overall picture is diminished."  

Richard Stearns: President of World Vision U.S.
Quote from his book: The Hole in our Gospel 

 Making the most of every opportunity

In the great orchestra we call life...

"There are things only you can do,
          and you are alive to do them.

In the great Orchestra we call life,
          you have an instrument and a song,

and you owe it to God to play them both sublimely."

Max Lucado: Quote is from his book, The Applause Of Heaven.

 "Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life." Psalm 39:4

"Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." Ephesians 5: 15-17

Blessings on your journey!
