I also love chapel on Tuesdays. I am trying to make it a habit to attend every week because it is always so refreshing. Today's message was on Matthew 24-25 and entitled "The Beginning of the End." There are many people who spend so much time studying how the "end" will come and when Jesus will return that they forget to live in the present moment. We learn about the future Kingdom so that we may live with that hope today. Instead of asking "What would Jesus do?" we should say "What did Jesus do? How did Jesus live as an example to us?" We can be aware of the end times, but it shouldn't be our focus. How can I live a life that shows those around me what it means to love Jesus? How can I share that love with them? Does this mean a simple smile or prayer? Or maybe it means I give them my food or clothing. Living each day remembering the example Jesus gave me reminds me that there are more important issues going on in the world that I need to concern myself with. Every single person is loved by God, and God calls me to love them to.
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity.
