3.5 Let’s Personalize this lesson…

This book shows us that God can do amazing things through ordinary people when He
empowers them through His Spirit. However, whoever is used of God has to be willing to be
selfless, be decerning, and submissive to His leading. Too often, we do not reflect those
characteristics. We respect our time and programs too much that we cannot break our
routines in order to invest in the life of someone else who needs the gospel. We fear about
how others will react to our faith. We fail to recognize the Holy Spirit when He is speaking. This book
challenges us to forsake ourselves and realize that this life is short, hence we should live it to the fullest.
Life can only be meaningful if we live it for God. And suffering and dying for Christ’s sake is an honor,
not an embarrassment. Will you choose to be selfless, decerning, and submissive to the Holy Spirit’s
leading?
