I wear my Living To Hear Six rubber band bracelet every day. Inside the bracelet it says, “Because it’s not about me.” I need a reminder that this life is not about me. Not about what I’ve accomplished, it’s about how well I’ve pointed to Jesus. By my love, my kindness, my words, my caring, my forgiveness. It’s not a scorecard. It’s a Hallmark card. I want my card to be sweet with a lot of humor. One that most likely makes you roll your eyes. Like this story on kindness, I found online when I was researching todays blog:
A research group on sea mammals captured a rather odd porpoise on one of its trips….
What made it exceptionally odd was that instead of a back flipper, it had feet. After they had photographed and measured the poor thing, they prepared to set it free.
“Wait a minute,” said one of the researchers, “Wouldn’t it be a kindness if our ship’s doctor here were to amputate the feet so that it would be like other porpoises?” “Not on your life,” exclaimed the doctor,
“That would be defeeting the porpoise.”
See… I can make you roll your eyes!
What is your porpoise? How well are you pointing to Jesus? Live to hear those six words, “Well done good and faithful servant.”
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.”
John 15:16
