OPPORTUNITY - PART II - By Lisa
Last time I wrote about seizing the opportunities that are offered to us. Then I came across this quote. Hmmm... this puts an even more urgent spin on it.
"How shall I feel at the judgment, if multitudes of missed opportunities pass before me in full review, and all my excuses prove to be disguises of my cowardice and pride?" (W. E. Sangster)
Sometimes I look at the work ahead of me and I am afraid. I'm not sure why. But often it's enough to make me want to just wait for another day.
But...I sure don't want to get to the end of my life and look at everything I didn't do. I especially don't want to answer for it.
So, as I said in my last blog, it really is time to get moving. God grant me the courage to do all he has asked of me.
What do you think? Where are your struggles?
That's my struggle in life - that when the end comes to this earthly life, that opportunities were missed, and not enough was done.

Hi David - Hey thanks for writing. I think a lot of people struggle with this. On the one hand we're saved by grace and not through effort. On the other hand, we are called by God to do certain tasks for his glory. It's a tough issue!!

Hi,
I recently noticed that a lot of the good folks who showed me link love have faded off into the sunset. I’m still on most of the blogrolls (or linked in individual posts) but the technorati hourglass has apparently run out of sand. Blogrolls can keep a person’s link, but after 6 months—if nothing has changed then it drops off the radar regardless.
So, I sent out a huge link love post with a link included to you. I was wondering if you could do the same - that way the authority stays where it should be for all of us.
Thanks for considering this.
Sincerely,
Pastor Rob
