Last segment in redeeming the time...
time marches on and waits for no one.
Here today gone tomorrow.
One shot, one life, one chance, one opportunity to make a difference.
We are created to make a difference...
to leave the planet when departed having made our mark somewhere somehow small or great.
The greatest investment we can make is to influence a life toward eternity.
So how or where do we begin to invest our talents, gifts, money and our service? The how has been covered in the last few posts...where do we invest? is the question...
God said to Abraham, 'Lift up your eyes from where you are. See the land I have given you...'
Begin where you are, lift up your eyes, ask God to help you see the needs in...your church, your community, your city, your state, your world.
Then seek those places to invest your life, sports, nursing homes, church, park departments, inter city ministry just to name a few...
Tip: Seek to match your passion with your gifting.
What are you passionate about? What burns your heart? What motivates you to action?
Passion in a heart keeps the life investment real and authentic. Passion keeps you going when the going gets tough.
If you are really stuck, read Steve and Janie Sjogren's book 101 Ways to Reinvest Your Life
