Faithful to the Cross!!!

My post today comes along with a song. A song that has been in my mind for the past week as I consider my personal commitment to Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour in my life!  

So often we can get so quickly caught up in what goes on, the fortune and the fame, in a way of showing what we are. We do it in all the right reasons to: showing glory to God for the gifts He has given us, we show off how God has materially blessed us and we forget in it all why God really put us on planet earth in the first place. That purpose alone is to honour and glorify Him to the best of our ability wherever He may call us, maybe that's serving the weak and the sick in Africa, or maybe its helping the abused and hurting in your local community, maybe its tending the sick in your local hospital as a nurse, or overseas. It doesn't matter, wherever God has called you to serve be Faithful. 

Some of you maybe struggling to find your place in the center of God's will. That's ok... keep praying... don't stop... Allow God to show you where He wants you to be. And until He opens a door or directs you some place else be faithful in serving God right here wherever you are. 

The legacy you live by serving God to the best of your ability where He has called you is by far more of a message then what any Pastor could get up and preach in an hour. And that my friend is coming from a Pastor’s kid. However, by not living where God has called you it is far more devastating then living in the middle of a war torn village.

I am leaving you today with the lyrics from the song that is posted at the top. In hopes that you will read them again and allow them to be your prayer!

Faithful to the Cross

VS 1: Some follow after fortune and fame

So when their gone the world will remember their name

But I am learning that what matters more can’t be held in my hands

And that riches aren’t the measure of the worth of a man

It’s found in being…

Chorus: Faithful to the cross, faithful to His Call

Laying Down my life, surrendering my all.

Forgetting what’s behind me and counting it as loss

Faithful to the finish, faithful to the cross.

VS 2: I want to know I ran my race, that I fought the fight and kept the faith

And when at last I stand before the throne,

I want to hear him say, “well done”,

That my heavenly Father would be proud of this son,

So may my life be…

CHORUS

So let this be the legacy for those who follow after me… I was faithful…

CHORUS

God bless you well you serve Him, wherever He has called you to serve.
