“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

How does God want to spend me for His kingdom?

Our pastor said/asked this awhile back in a sermon. Quite a different way to look at things, eh? How does God want to SPEND me? Not, how does God want to FULFILL me as I… (whatever) for Him. Doesn’t make it all sound so frilly anymore does it?
I tell you what, we came home feeling SPENT. And instead of feeling anything remotely positive for what we had done to glorify God in our obedience, we felt failures because we came away UNFULFILLED in our expectations of what we thought God wanted. We had (still have?) the wrong perspective.
