To the most unworthy person - a persecutor of Christians, a hater of the gospel: a man called Saul of Tarsus - God stretched out His hand and offered the rich and abundant life.
The lord made three statements to Saul as he was en route to take as prisoners some Christians. A light shined from heaven and he fell to the ground.
Here are three formidable statements:
Fist: I am Jesus (Acts 9:5)
What he meant was: I Desire You!
Second: Now stand up (Acts 9:6)
That was to say: I'll Inspire You!
Third: You are my witness (Acts 26:16-18)
In other words: I Require You!
Jesus saves us, then He makes us His partners.
He redeems us, then sends us out as His messengers.
He enriches us, then makes us His good will ambassadors.
Your greatest personal development is to get God's view of the world, to see people as God sees them, to absorb His nature and to get in harmony with His emotions until He lives and loves and lifts people through you.
That is why you require His Best.
You give up your small ambitions and you aim for the top. The basic attitude in achieving all success is:
See a need and fill it; See a hurt and heal it; See someone lost and guide them to the light; Find someone down and lift them up.
That spells "mission" for every human being - reaching people, carrying out God's plan for good in this world.
Every life that is on target with God has a divine mission, an therein lies the reason for us to require God's best in life.
