While recently watching the Homegoing Service of a very prominent pastor, I heard a very moving statement by the person designated to do the eulogy. He stated that when you deal with milk, as well as cereal and other perishable items, you can always find a warning on them saying, "best used by" a certain date.
This struck a chord in my mind, because we all have to die one day. But, the conclusion that I have learned is, even though we do all have to go one day, would I be satisfied going full of juice because I've never been used or empty because I've given myself to God to be used? It's unfortunate when you have to throw away a full carton of milk or orange juice, because no one ever used it for what it was made for.
When I thought of this, it made me sad because, I thought of how many of us are being used for many things, but are we really being used for what God created us for? Are we allowing God to use us to our full potential? Will we die with our dreams still in our hearts?
My challenge to you today is to look inside yourself and examine whether you are being used by God, so you won't be poured out because you've gotten old an lumpy and began to stink.
DAILY LOVE FROM HIM ABOVE
