In 1 Thessalonians 1:8 I read, “Your lives are echoing the Master’s Word . . . The news of your faith in God is out. We don’t even have to say anything anymore—you’re the message!” (The Message)
God put me on Earth for a special reason. He wants to say something to the rest of the world through me. It’s called my life message.
Any time I say, “This is what God’s doing in my life,” I’m giving my life message. Any time I say, “I was praying about this, and here’s what’s happened,” I’ve given a life message. Any time I say, “I’ve got this problem I’m struggling with, but God is helping me,” I’m sharing my life message.
I’m the only one who can share my unique life message. Nobody else can do it for me. And if I don’t share my life message, the world gets cheated.
God wants to use me because the best messages are personal messages. The most powerful message comes through a person. I’m so glad that when God wanted to share his message of love, he didn’t email it. He came in person. The Word became flesh. Jesus Christ came to Earth so we could see what God is like.
God has a message to share with the world, and instead of writing it in the sky, he wants to share it through my personality; he wants to share it through me.
The good news is that I don’t have to be perfect to share my life message. I just have to be honest, real, and authentic. Just say, “I don’t have it all together, but here’s what God is doing in my life. Here’s the difference Jesus Christ has made.”
If I don’t share my life message with others, they may never hear about what God can do for them too.
My life message is mine alone. No one else can share it. So what will be the communication of my life?
