John 17:4 " I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work You
gave me to do."
Wouldn't it be great to live your life in such a way that they could print the above verse as an epitaph on your tombstone?
The verse is part of Jesus' prayer the night before He would taste death for us, and it speaks volumes in a simple sentence about how we as His disciples should live our lives. The goal; bringing glory on earth. The means; completing the work He gives us to do.
We are here to glorify Him. We must complete the work [not just start it, but finish it]. Our desire is to do all of the work He gives us. We need not aspire to do any more. We should not settle for doing anything less.
Seek Him in prayer today, asking for His guidance on your life about what specific tasks He wants to assign you to glorify Him on earth.
Then commit to completing that work. And be satisfied with becoming well-pleasing to Him who sends you.
