Using What You Have Left

[doc329]

In life it's not what you lose that makes a difference. It is what you do with what is left over. You can lose 99.9% of what you have in your life. However, the way to make a difference in life and the ultimate test of life is what you do with the .1% that is left over. Losing the 99.9% is not fair or just.
However, the ultimate victory of life is to stand before God and hold up your one tenth of one percent and say to God, "Lord, I did not have much to work with, but I did the best with what I had left and I did my best for You."
Those are victorious words. Those words are filled with power to get us through the dark days of life.

When we take the small amount we have and use this small amount to bless and glorify God's will, we have done all God could ever ask of us to do.
God does not want us to be grieving over what we have lost.
Our grieving disables us and does not let us be a giver of the light of Christ.
When we take our.1% and decide to use it to let our tiny light shine for His glory and grace, then we begin to not only pierce our own darkness, but we pierce the darkness of others.

In His Service

I have a good quote to add to this. I think oh this quote a lot:

"Today I will give everything I have, for anything I keep is lost forever..."

This was soooo good. It helps me to not be so down about what little I do have, but just like the widows mite she gave all she had and like Clairablle also added, speaks so much!

Thanks!

I have been through a traumatic experience and have lost a lot. I feel drained of confidence and resuorces at the moment. I have been feeling so ashamed about my emotional vulnerabilities, but this has encouraged me. I have been grieving and grieving and grieving and afraid to move forward. This has encouraged me to begin taking little steps.

Thank you.
