My Life, My Story

For the past month God has had me meditating on a scripture that has really made me think and has really challenged me. The scripture is John 15:5 ….  ”Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing”    At first glance it seems like a basic scripture that is common sense, but the more you think about it the more challenging it gets.  I began to think “What about the guy who is the CEO of a company, and is making millions but isn’t a follower of Christ”   he is doing something isn’t he?  This is where it gets more challenging.  If we interpret this situation through he word then biblically speaking all of this persons accomplishments or well doings ar still considered nothing.  it makes me think…. how may people are doing something but because it wasn’t God inspired but rather man inspired, God still sees it as nothing.. I want my life to be something, to count for something to make a difference for someone and to have substance.  it doesn’t have to be a life of fame or a life that is in the limelight.  I just want to live a life is substance, i want to make a difference, I want to serve my saviour.  so the challenge of the scripture summed up is this.   Just become you are doing something doesn’t mean you are doing SOMETHING!.
