Shaped to Serve!

When we make the decision to follow Jesus Christ, God does an amazing thing. The Apostle Paul puts it this way in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" You see, by a work of God's grace, we become HIS “workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which HE prepared in advance for us to do”(Ephesians 2:10). Now due to life’s busyness, we can easily lose sight of this truth. That is why we must from time to time renew our commitment to serve our Lord. If we don't, we can all too easily slide into the mode of serving Me, Myself, and I! SOOOO .... all this to remind you of this glorious truth: serving Jesus is one of the highest privileges of life! So let's all determine to use our God-given SHAPE to serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!!
