What are you doing with what God’s given you? Throughout his teaching, Jesus calls his disciples to selflessness—in doing so, he’s giving you an opportunity to participate in something eternal. He wants to leverage who you are to make this world more like heaven. It will be a sacrifice to think outside of yourself and put the needs of another before you. But there is nothing like the feeling of being used by God to make an impact on his Kingdom. It’s counterintuitive, but you need to lose your life to find it.
