What will drive you today, friend?

"I don't think I'm in the right place. I can't serve God well here."

You don't know how many people think like that. How many people don't want to get out of bed in the morning because they have no desire to continue, for example, with their job. And maybe, friend, you feel the same way.

What many may not know is that I used to work in a factory. I had to get up in the middle of the night to stand at an assembly line for absolute minimum wage...

And yet, I went there with a smile on my face, and I did that because I chose to. Yes, it's always a choice. Your choice.

You can let circumstances steal your joy, or you can spread joy in those circumstances!

Paul, who often had every reason not to want to get out of bed in the morning, said, "For the love of Christ controls us…" (2 Corinthians 5:14 ESV) 

friend, perhaps where you are, you are the only light, so please don't forget that shining is your mission. Yes, it's written in the Bible: "...let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16 NIV) 

friend, today, years later, I still meet people from my time on the assembly line who say,  "You saw me back when no one else did. When I was doing that insignificant job, you treated me like I was worth something. That's why I eventually walked into a church, and that's why I'm living with Jesus today!"

Isn't that wonderful, friend?

And it didn't cost me anything, except the decision to let the love I receive from Jesus drive me in EVERYTHING I do. So, friend, you don't have to drive yourself. You can let His love drive you. And you can ask for His love anytime.

Let God's love drive you in everything, and you will show people the way to Jesus right where you are today!

"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10 NIV) 

You are a miracle!
