Scripture

Philippians 1:12-26 (EBST*)

Translation

NIV

What God said to me

All that you do, do for Me. Let others see Me living through you. Let them hear My words and see My love through you. Live so that the world will know Me.

What I said to God

So You are saying that I have got to keep living for the sake of others? You know I am tired. The mundane and petty things of this world do not interest me. I long to be with You...to sit at Your feet...to praise and worship You all day every day without interruption. I am a homebody who just wants to be at home with You. As long as You want me to remain here, though, help me to be the best You I can be. Teach me to represent You well.
