If our goal is merely service for the Lord, we may burn out somewhere along the line. But if our purpose, like Paul’s and Clyde’s and many others, is to know Christ and love Him, we’ll find that He will give us the strength to make Him known to others. Let us joyfully press on in the strength God gives!
If we serve God by just doing a lot of good works, do what is right and obey the Word blindly (because that's what the commandments said), it may not reached our maximum potential in doing something. We may get tired and burn out at some point of time in life. But if we serve God because we know Him, LOVE Him and know why we are doing it, God will give us joy and strength. Why? We give our whole self to God and He is very pleased, and the joy of the Lord will be our strength. Invest all of our thoughts, feelings, trust, hope, anything that is uncertain for our future and things that we cannot trust on others, we can all invest those things in God. He will not let us down or disappoint us, or shame us in front of anyone. He is a good God. For He has a plan and a future for His children, to prosper and not to harm us. Hope in God.
BE THE ONE who gives himself completely to God so that God can do mighty work through us. Be the one God can use us. God is looking at the heart, not many wants to truly follow Him. So BE THE ONE. He can use anyone. Use- is to do great things, to give glory to God, to do Kingdom work and to build God's Kingdom. Also for God to honour us because we volunteer ourselves to God, because we love Him. "Use" in this context is not being taken advantage of like how people use each other.
We don't have much time here on earth.
