“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28
The biggest mistake is make-believing our life is our own!
We blindly pursue Prosperity, Promotion, Popularity, Position, and Power hoping these things will make us Happy.
“Success isn’t just about what you accomplish in your life; it’s about what you inspire others to do.” Anonymous.
“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”– Albert Schweitzer
The ONLY way to love who you are and what you do is to give your life as a Ransom for Some!
This means you are following your Purpose and Passion and NOT the other “P” words.
The skills, talents, abilities, and resources you have were given to you to serve those who are your Passion.
When we empty ourselves into those we were created to serve, we become their Ransom.
Giving your life as a Ransom for some is helping to rescue, recover, retrieve, and liberate those people you were called to help.
We are to be bail bondsmen, and the price is our life!
Philippians 2:3-5. Paul says, “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus.”
This is not just your family that you are called to lay down your life but a specific group of people who YOU are to be a catalyst of change in their lives.
My life is what it is today because of people like: John, Tim, Bob, Tom, Leslie, Jim, Nancy, Rob, Richard, Rose, David, Joann, Michelle, Steve, Roger, Al, and many others.
A few of these are Family members, but most are people who were in my life for a season.
They had a purpose of being in my life and became a Ransom for me.
Without them paying the price that they did, and some paid a very large price, I fear for what my life would be today!
I owe them more than I will ever be able to repay.
A truly Happy, Successful, and Fulfilled life is one that is busy being a Ransom for Some!
Find Your Passion….Find Your Life!
