Topic: Using What You Have

It is not what you lose in life that makes a difference. It is what you do with what is left over. You can lose 99.9% of what you have in your life. However, the way to make a difference in life and the ultimate test of life is what you do with the .1% left over. Losing the 99.9% is seldom fair or just. However, the ultimate victory of life is to stand before God and hold up your puny one tenth of one percent and say to God, "Lord, I did not have much to work with, but I did the best with what I had left and I did my best for you." Those are victorious words. Those words are filled with power to get us through the dark days of life. When we take the small amount we have and use this small amount to bless and glorify God's will, we have done all God could ever ask of us to do. In addition, God does not want us to be bent over grieving over what we have lost. Our bent over grieving posture disables us and does not let us be a giver of Christ's Light. However, when we take our .1% and decide to use it to let our tiny Light shine for His glory and grace, then we begin to not only pierce our own darkness, but we pierce the darkness of others.

If these words have been a blessing to you please forward them to a friend.
