Devotional
Living for a reason is not about doing what you do for what you will get out of it. It’s all about being cause driven and being committed to the cause. It’s having a strong will, and a resolute desire to solve the problem of the people. It involves giving your time, energy, and resources to care for the hurting, to lift those that are underprivileged and bring their dreams to pass. Any wonder God would say in Matthew 25:40,
Key Scripture
Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.Matthew 25:40 NIV
Refreshing for the Day
The truth is, there is a version of God’s greatness and unlimited abundance that is available and accessible to only those who are living for a reason. The reason is, they would pick up a cause and engaged in the mission of carrying it out to the latter. They will stop at nothing until they accomplish their mission. They are selfless about it, and totally committed to it. When they wake up in the morning all they think is, “what can I do to better the life of others”. Their prayers are, “Lord, take me to where I’ll be a help to the humanity”. They understand the saying that, ”the next level of a man’s destiny is connected to helping someone else.”
So, beloved, I counsel you and encourage you, seek to live for a reason, and be selfless about it. Don’t fake it, don’t do it for the applaud of men, but be realistic about it. And you will see favor in new ways. Stay Refreshed!
