What Have You Done for Me Lately?

Sounds selfish - if it were ME asking the question - but it's actually a question God is asking OF me. "What have YOU (Robyn) done for me (God) lately?" Umm...well...there's that time...

Shouldn't be hard to answer, right? After all, I'm "in the ministry." But there are days...even weeks...that, I'm embarrassed to say, I don't have a good answer. Sure, I jump through all the administrative hoops each week to make sure we're able to have church on Sunday. I lead a team of people to be hospitality, greeters and parkers at our campus (but really, THEY do all the work - and are AMAZING at it). I talk to people in the community about our church, it's culture and our mission of leading people to become fully-devoted followers of Christ. And all that I do for the Kingdom purpose...but His question is deeper than that.

Robyn - WHAT have YOU DONE personally for ME lately? The answer - not enough.

I haven't spent enough time reading His Word. I haven't spent enough time in prayer. I haven't spent enough time actually sharing what He means to me personally (not just "professionally"). I haven't been a good enough example of His love to my family, friends and team. I haven't done enough.

Next question: Robyn - what are you going to do about it?

Simple answer - Step Up, be accountable and quit making excuses! I can never do enough to repay Him for the life of Jesus Christ that was given for me...but I can (and must) step up and do more!

How about you - are you doing enough? What can you do to Step Up?
