I said a few weeks ago that I love the term “Selling Out”. It usually conjures up a negative connotation like, “I used to love that band before they sold out.” But I like the idea of being sold out for my God. Sold out really means that nothing else matters anymore except the one thing (or person) to which you have sold out.

Selling out to God has to be a beautiful thing. God is all that matters. Serving Him is the only reason for existence. He is the focal point of life and the center of the universe. I feel like I read that we are supposed to live this way anyway. So why not do it and be completely sold out for Him?

So what does that look like? Well, since we cannot practically speaking bring God a glass of water or a slice of pizza, since we can’t do his laundry or mow his lawn, we have to do what we can. To paraphrase Jesus, we have to do what we can for the least of these. And I am finding in my life that almost all of us are the least of these. We all have something broken about us.

So, what can we do? We can serve each other. We can forget about our own selfish desires and go all out serving our fellow man. And most importantly we can do it with no strings attached. We do it just because God said so and we love Him by obeying.

So serve today, tomorrow and always. Then you will know the full measure of His love.

On the Journey with You,
