Blessing Others With What We are Given

Today, I watched a powerful story on video that popped on my Facebook mini-feed. Here is what happened in the story: A marketing director was contacted by 20th Century Fox to make a promo video for the upcoming movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty". The studio gave him a $25,000 budget but instead of making a trailer about Walter Mitty, the director spent the money on helping the victims of typhoon Haiyan. So the director lived out the "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" as his promo video.

As Christians, we too are called to live extraordinary lives. We are called to go serve the poor, feed the hungry, and help the sick. I want to make a difference in the world, how about you? At our church, we are finishing the last book of the Bible, Revelation. A few days ago, we read about great multitude covered in white robes from every nation, tribe, people, and language standing before the throne of God.

Revelation 7:15-17 says,

“They are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”

This is my 100th post, I hope all of us can remember that our purpose should always aim towards eternity with Jesus Christ. Remember to GIVE this Christmas season. You can give time, you can money, you can give love, and you can give hope. But most importantly, remember God's gift of salvation to us and that we are called to share this gift with others.
