I read this in my devotions a couple of days ago and it was a real challenge

If you make usefulness the test, then Jesus Christ was the greatest failure that ever lived. The lodestar of the saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness.


It came as a big reminder that the most important thing in our lives should not be what we are doing but our relationship with Christ. That's not to say that being useful isn't important, just that it shouldn't be our main goal.

Thanks for that! It was a real blessing and came as confirmation to something I've been praying about lately. Thanks again!
