Luke 12:35
Jesus said, "From everyone who has been given much, much will be required." Being entrusted with something of significant value requires heartfelt protection, dedication, and care. If the Lord has entrusted you today with His prize possessions (His people) we must not treat it carelessly. Making sure at all times to be a person fueled by love, passion, faith, and devotion to the will of God!
We are required to be dressed, and ready to serve at all times. Viewing the world with a deeper set of eyes proves to us, that its full of broken, neglected people who are looking for someone to love them with out condition. Hurting people need to be fed, and nurtured until they are strong enough to feed themselves. To truly take care of God's people is to search out the Lords heart on a daily basis. Maintaining your spiritual fire, being Spirit led, Spirit filled and ready to give at all times. Prayer is the key to spiritual maintenance!
Living for Christ is giving up your life to love and serve others the way Christ did for us. When you see a life dramatically changed it fuels you to pray harder and to love even deeper than before! Living for Christ is not losing your life, its picking up the ones that aren't strong enough; and carrying them until they are able to repeat that cycle of love. When you grow tired, look to your maker the author and creator of everything good. Put your hope in The Lord. His Word says, "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."
God will never give you something greater than you can handle. He never said the journey would be easy but, we can rest knowing that He did promise to be with us through it all!
"It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing well when He returns. I tell you the truth, He will put Him in charge of all His possessions." Luke 12:43-44
