Crazy Love

I'm currently reading a book called "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan. It's so appropriate for where I'm at in my life.

Chapter 7 is "Your Best Life....Later", Francis refers to Isaiah 58:2-14. These versus particularly ministered to me. V9-12 If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. the Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

If we "spend ourselves". Wow! We're each given different gifts and talents by our Master. The thing that matters most is how we use what we have been given, not how much we make or do compared to someone else. What matters is that we spend ourselves.
