If
this is the ending, the end
every
I statement about me,
of
the world, not of the holy
not
worthy of a follower of Christ
Our
focus is selfish, self-centered,
if
our conversion, our saving is about us -
I am
redeemed, God died for me,
Christ
has saved me from death
God
still not at the center
when
we focus on ourselves
our
salvation story should be
a
gift to the world, the flesh
Only
if the beginning is
not
the end to itself, finished;
our
saving is for a purpose
to
share God, the good news
Our
lives are to be a vessel
to be
filled, to be poured,
sharing
as we are given
to others,
life forevermore
