footprints

2 Cor 3:1-6

often we are trapped in the business of ministry that we forget the real passion of JC. and the same trap ensnared me for the past couple of months. increasing responsibilities and seemingly neverending religious activities drifted me away from the original purpose, until one of my respected senior helped me to straighten up again. think about this, you might seem like the busiest person in the whole church, but has everything that you've done, done any good for anyone?

quit being hypocrites with all our religious duties and start putting some heart into whatever we are doing. don't put JC to shame by saying we do things out of love for Him yet we do not act like it.

v.3. "you show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts."

a true ministry will leave marks. and those marks are not the compliments you received on how good you were in leading worship, how beautiful your voice were when you sang at that Christmas service, how hard working you were during the tough moments of the church pilgrimage around the CBD. the marks we leave are supposed to be in the life of the people we touch with our ministry. how hearts were changed to know JC, how lives were led from despair into hope.

touching lives through our own life.
those are the footprints i want to leave in this life.
Lord help me.
