Commitment Sunday - Why Us?

Have we really made a difference? Has my life touched another life in such way that lasting good was accomplished through it?  In 1Thessalonians we find that theThessalonians themselves were the proof of the power of the Gospel that Paul’s life-work represented. Their transformation spoke of the depth with which Christ had touched their hearts. Paul evaluated the value of his work by how his investment in other people had mattered. His motivation was not about himself but by how God had enabled and used him to bring change and transformation in others. In assessing our lives, we must understand how incredibly blessed we have been to be born where we are and have the opportunities we have been afforded. Why us? We may not be certain why we are so remarkably blessed but we can be certain that God desires to use us to utilize those blessings to touch others in His name.
