Poem
when I was a child I played on a baseball team and my name on my jersey to me was my greatest dream but as an adult I have now come to realize that my name on anything is to God not a prize your name is not that important when it comes to true glory what is important is have you contributed to God's story? at the house of Simon the Leaper a woman of little means made a contribution to Jesus for Him she did a good thing however in the story it never mentions her name but her act of kindness in the Bible will forever remain so what have you done to in your life to be remembered ? what have you contributed as a card carrying Christian member ? don't be like Michael Vick who won't be remembered for his football fame nor Eliot Spitzer a former governor where scandal is now attached to their names what have you done to edify our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ ? what to His Story have you contributed in your life ? she anointed Jesus with an expensive flask of fragrant nard an unselfish gesture towards the One she held in highest regards the crowd became indignant with her expressive display until Jesus instructed them to let her alone that day a contribution to The Story she had done a noble act towards God's only begotten Son what have you done to contribute to Jesus' story ? what have you done to give Him honor and glory ? to go beyond yourself and to give back to Christ to make a significant and important sacrifice she anointed Him with oil in preparation for the time when we would no longer have Jesus, the root of life's vine she gave all she had she blessed Him with that costly nard she gave all she had and she gave it from the heart she contributed to The Story for in Him she truly believed and her act of kindness will forever be received so what have you done to give God glory ? what have you done to add to The Story ? have you made any gestures to help your fellow man ? a random act of kindness or lent a helping hand have you gone out of your way to lift up anyone ? what for the greater good of mankind have you done ? have you ever reach out and pulled someone along ? have you ever tried to make right a wrong ? have you ever made an unselfish gesture, deed or act ? have you ever prayed for those under spiritual attack ? what have you contributed to God's continuous story ? what have you done to give Him honor and glory ? as only what you do for Christ will last and endure what have you done to be remembered forevermore ?
