9/2/2010 - What Are Your Eyes On? II Cor. 6:10

Posted in Unspecified

Scripture: II Cor. 6:10 Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.

Observation: It seems that it is not unusual, when you are actively ministering to others, to live in two worlds at once. In one world we may be aching, poor and own nothing while at the same time being joyful, having much to share and being fully fulfilled. It seems that it is a matter of which side we put our attention on.

Application: It is too easy for me to live with my eyes only on the poor, aching, having less than I desire side. I need to actively encourage myself by keeping my focus on the joy, sharing and fulfillement that God intends for me.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the reminders, recently, of what my life is accomplishing. Give me the strength to keep my eyes on the joy you have for me and to be constantly fulfilled simply doing what you have given me to do for your people and for your church family.
