"When this life is over and you stand before the Creator to give an account for how you lived, what will you say? That you worked hard, had a beautiful home, and took your family on some wonderful vacations? Or that you readily and obediently served Him, striving to become like Jesus in all you said and did? After death, all our accomplishments will be laid out before the Lord to be judged. At that point, it won't make any difference how much praise you received, how far you advanced in your job, or how much money you accumulated. The only thing that will matter is what God thinks about how you've used the abilities, gifts, and opportunities He gave you." (Charles Stanley)
My heart's desire is to walk worthy of the calling that God has put on my heart, to be completely used up by Him for His work. When I stand before God one day, I want to hear him say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
