Be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days. Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do. Ephesians 5:15-17 (NLT)
God wants each of us to have PURPOSE and not to WASTE our lives! He desires us to live every moment for Him! We are not to just follow Him to heaven, but we are to become like Him here on earth. Our lives should not be ones that waste but rather ones that invest. Investing our lives with an eternal purpose. We should be living extravagantly for God!
When we give of ourselves to serve God, sometimes it's just not rational. And the world will look at us and say, "what a waste". We need to be demonstrating our faith to those around us. Has anyone criticized you lately because of your faith?
Are you ready to pour out of yourself, and extravagant gift to God? What we give to the Lord should cause the attention of others. After all, we are demonstrating His goodness, His love, His majesty! Don't be content to give God your second best. He wants to be first in EVERY area of our lives. He doesn't want a portion of you....He wants ALL of you! Make the most of EVERY opportunity that He has for you; doing extraordinary, extravagant and foolish things for God!
