"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace." Acts 20:24

This was our memory verse for Community Bible Study this week. It really makes me think...how many times do I lose sight of my purpose in a day? How selfish I am with my time, and how busy I often get with the unimportant or meaningless things.

Please God, use me for your purpose, to give you glory and honor.

(Can you believe when I pushed the publish button, my filter crossed out Jesus' name?! I guess it's considered a swear word now. I had to turn off my filter in order to publish this.)

That's a great verse! The Lord is constantly showing me that my motives and attitudes need to be realigned. Sometimes its hard but He is good and He never gives up on me.
