If you gave up a week’s vacation just so you could give detailed lessons to a relative wanting to learn sewing or carpentry or plumbing — but then the relative never did anything with the lessons learned — you’d probably be very disappointed and reluctant to help that relative again.

We know that we only have so much time in this life and we want to be the best stewards possible of that time.

I hope that none of us would ask someone to invest a large chunk of time into us and our spoken plans and then we don’t put their investment to use in our lives.

If you’ve ever been on the mentor side of this situation, you know the frustration of thinking you could have better used the time somewhere else.

God wants us to be good stewards of the investment made into our lives by Jesus Christ.

God saved us so that we’ll become more like Jesus, doing good deeds and bringing glory to the Father in heaven.

Ephesians 2:10 says we are saved in order to do good works. Colossians 3:17 says that all of our efforts should be pointed toward bringing glory to God.

Here’s a description of our role model’s life, one we’re called to imitate.

“He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.” (Titus 2:14)

Jesus did SO much for us.

Let’s not squander His investment into our lives and into our eternity.

He cleansed us.

He put His name upon us.

Let’s be totally committed to doing good deeds.

It’s what responsible relatives do.

As always, I love you
Martin
