Destined to Serve
I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind
And I live the envelope pushed far enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to serve, destined to roam.
-Alanis Morrissette
(The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)
'The rule for all of us is perfectly simple.
Do not waste time bothering whether you 'love' your neighbour;
act as if you did.
As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets.
When you are behaving as if you loved someone,
you will presently come to love him.'
- C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
We are in this earthly tent and...
we have an eternal home in heaven waiting for us.
Currently we're groaning for the eternal home.
Longing for it.
The Spirit's been given us as a deposit,
a guarantee of the reality of our eternal home.
While we're here we make it our goal to please Him. 2 Corinthians 5:9
And...we try to persuade men. 2 Corinthians 5:11
We no longer live for ourselves, but for Him. 2 Corinthians 5:15
He reconciled us and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:18
We implore people...
Now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2
We put no stumbling block in anyone's path. 2 Corinthians 6:3
