19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20 ESV)
I thought this prayer from my morning devotion was so beautiful. Pray, “Lord, I give You control over my life so You can affect others through my words and actions. Make my days count for eternity however You choose—do not let me waste them. Live Your life through me in such a way that many recognize their need for You. In Jesus’ name, amen.” (Intouch Ministries)
Combined with today’s scripture we have a roadmap for how we are to spend our days. Yes, we may have sustaining work we do to make a living, but we are to also be a godly example to those around us. Speaking and living in a way that continually portrays to others that you do not live for yourself.
Being this person in today’s society sets us apart. It displays Jesus love for others in so many different ways, but we must not say that our actions are enough. We must find ways to speak of Jesus love for others and His salvation. We do not want people thinking we are just good people, but that we are godly people. People after God’s own heart. Making each day count for eternity in the way’s He chooses.
