Everyone’s journey has a few significant life choices which will determine their success or failure. How can you be sure that the choices you make will be the right ones? That you reach for your dream?

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for human beings. Remember that the Lord will give you as a reward what he has kept for his people. For Christ is the real Master you serve. Colossians 3:23-24

I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize for which ChristJesus has already won me to himself. Of course, my brothers and sisters, I really do not think that I have already won it; the one thing I do, however, is to forget what is behind me and do my best to reach what is ahead. So I run straight towards the goal in order to win the prize, which is God’s call through Christ Jesus to the life above. Philippians 3:12-14

Discover your gifts. We all want to be doing things in our lives that make us feel great. Everyone has been endowed with some God-given characteristics, features or aptitudes which make you unique. That is why it is important to discover your unique gifts and talents.

So we are to use our different gifts in accordance with the grace that God has given us. If our gift is to speak God’s message, we should do it according to the faith that we have; if it is to serve, we should serve; if it is to teach, we should teach; if it is to encourage others, we should do so. Whoever shares with others should do it generously; whoever has authority should work hard; whoever shows kindness to others should do it cheerfully. Romans 12:6-8

Remember, Christ is God’s gift to you.

The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father’s only Son. John 1:14

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its saviour. John 3:16-17

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for giving your Son to mankind, the greatest gift ever. Thank you that you loved me so much that Jesus also died for me so that I can have eternal life. I praise your Name. Amen
