What if today were my last? How would that change my choices, my goals, how I spend my time?
Christ warns and rebukes but He is also full of compassion. Paul in chains oddly is grateful for his chains and his opportunity to share his faith and that the gospel is still being preached, even though some of that is through selfish ambition (Phil. 1).
What really matters? That God be seen in us, that we be a light and let God use us where we are, and that we allow Him to work in others' lives also and prayerfully lean on Him for guidance as to how that should happen.
May He be seen in me today. More than anything else, I really do want to be fully His.
