Living for God`s Well done.
If you`re a follower of Jesus, the Holy Spirit is in your life and He`s given you spiritual gifts. One day, the Bible says, we`re going to stand before God and have the opportunity to hear the God of the universe say to us:
  • Well done.

    It`s worth spending some time thinking about that moment. Down here one hundred thousand people in the Rose Bowl go nuts over what a football team has done. Think about the God who made you, the God of the universe, looking you in the eye and saying:

  • Well done. Well done. Well done.

    You want to live for that? I don`t want to go through life in the bleachers. I want to be faithful to God`s calling on my life. I want to develop the gifts that He`s given to me to the fullest extent that I can. I want to serve. I want to give with the stuff that He`s given to me. I want to encourage other people and cheer them on.
