Adding Something
What do I add to the body of Jesus? Is my contribution even noticeable? Am I a costly weight being carried along by other loving believers who are praying that I will get a life?
That’s a costly question when I ask it. A better question set to lean into is: Who does Jesus say that I am? Am I living that identity? What does He say He has given me as responsibility? Am I doing that? If I do happen to have those right, am I doing what I’m doing in a way that the people who have to watch are seeing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)?
When you check your score on any of that, ask Jesus, not someone who doesn’t know how to add your score. Start your day asking Jesus for success, end your day asking Jesus for critique. Be awesome!
