Make your life count through this challenge:
Making My Life Count - My Purpose Driven Covenant
“Today I am stepping across the line. I’m tired of waffling, and
I’m finished with wavering. I’ve made my choice; the verdict is in; and my
decision is irrevocable. I’m going God’s way. There’s no turning back
now!
I will live the rest of my life serving God’s purposes with
God’s people on God’s planet for God’s glory. I will use my life to celebrate
his presence, cultivate his character, participate in his family, demonstrate
his love, and communicate his Word.
Since my past has been forgiven, and I have a purpose for living
and a home awaiting in heaven, I refuse to waste any more time or energy on
shallow living, petty thinking, trivial talking, thoughtless doing, useless
regretting, hurtful resenting, or faithless worrying. Instead I will magnify
God, grow to maturity, serve in ministry, and fulfill my mission in the
membership of his family.
Because this life is preparation for the next, I will value
worship over wealth, "we" over "me," character over comfort, service over
status, and people over possessions, position, and pleasures. I know what
matters most, and I’ll give it all I’ve got. I’ll do the best I can with what I
have for Jesus Christ today.
I won’t be captivated by culture, manipulated by critics,
motivated by praise, frustrated by problems, debilitated by temptation, or
intimidated by the devil. I’ll keep running my race with my eyes on the goal,
not the sidelines or those running by me.
When times get tough, and I get tired, I won’t back up, back
off, back down, back out, or backslide. I’ll just keep moving forward by God’s
grace. I’m Spirit-led, purpose-driven and mission-focused, so I cannot be
bought, I will not be compromised, and I shall not quit until I finish the
race.
I’m a trophy of God’s amazing grace, so I will be gracious to
everyone, grateful for every day, and generous with everything that God entrusts
to me.
To my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I say: ‘However, whenever,
wherever, and whatever you ask me to do, my answer in advance is yes! Wherever
you lead and whatever the cost, I’m ready. Anytime. Anywhere. Anyway. Whatever
it takes Lord; whatever it takes! I want to be used by you in such a way, that
on that final day I’ll hear you say, "Well done, thou good and faithful one.
Come on in, and let the eternal party begin!’”
