Romans 14:7-“None of us liveth to himself.”

 Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

 

RESPONSIBILITY

 

Lord, I carry burdens. I’m reliable.

I desire to please only You.

But I’ve learned that I am responsible

To represent You in all that I do.

 

I influence those around me.

“Who am I?” I often say.

The Lord says, “I have called you

To walk across some lives today.”

 

Lord help me guard my actions.

Guard my tongue and my attitudes.

Because I might be the only Jesus

Sharing a taste of Godliness food.

 

May I wisely represent You

In every placement You assign.

Motivated with a heart of gratitude

For my salvation so lovingly designed.

JOURNAL JOTTINGS: Have you ever felt responsible for the spiritual welfare of others? Who gave you this assignment? Will you always see results? Working for the Master should be motivated by gratitude for our own Salvation. Explain.

 

DEAR LORD: Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Help me to increase my burden for lost souls. I pray for the seeds that I have already sown in lives.

Please cause it to bear fruit before it is too late. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.
