What Are You Doing with Your Dash?

Once upon a time on a particular date and year you were born. At that moment life began for you and it will continue until your death on a particular date and year. Wow! What wisdom you may say. Now join me in a nearby graveyard and you will find some folks already have a marker showing their date of birth with a dash awaiting their death for it to be completed.

It is this dash I want to talk about. You are now on your journey in life and you have until this dash is completed to do both good and evil in this life. What are you doing with it only you can answer.

God gave His son Jesus as a gift of love to our world. Jesus came and with his dash gave His life so you may be free. When you repent of your sins and receive Salvation with your dash you began a spiritual life and began to share with others the love Jesus gave to you.

Jesus empowered you to bring these good tidings to a lost world. I like the verse in Isaiah 61:1 which says “The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.”

When Jesus was teaching in Nazareth Luke wrote in 4:17-19 “And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at libert y them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

We have a great opportunity to do good with our dash time. Love the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Find what God wants you to do and fill in your dash fulfilling it until he says it is finished.

Remember:

I John 1:9 "If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
