Contemplations

My mind has been thinking more about Jesus lately and I have been contemplating more about how exactly God wants to use me.

I feel like there are many times where my heart just isn't in the right place and yet I still have the feeling like I want to do more or that I could apply more of my daily life into sacrificing it to the kingdom. Yet, I still spend too much money on eating out and spend too much time watching television or whatnot.

So, why would God give me more responsibilities if I can even manage the smaller ones now?

Lately I have been wondering if there is a more beneficial way to use my degree in engineering for Him after I graduate. For instance, helping to build wells in Africa or under-developed/starving countries. And yet I look at my Oak Hills High School ministry and see all the opportunities for growth there. Not to mention all the opportunities in the numerous interactions I have with people everyday. This world is broken-its not just Africa that needs some of Christ's love- its everyone.

In short, I believe if my heart is in the right place, God will reward that no matter what I do. Of course that's only if I am doing it for Him. The question is this- in whatever I do, am I using the gifts God gave me to glorify Him the best that I can?

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, - Colossians 3:23
