Let this sink in for a minute: If you were the only person in the world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior-the only one out of the billions who have lived-Jesus would still have submitted Himself to the humiliation of the Cross. Why? And why, when God created humans, did He give them-us-free will? Adam and Eve could choose complete obedience with its' obvious rewards in the Garden, or they could choose disobedience, and with it rebellion and destruction. Why give them-us-that choice?

What if Jesus asks you to be completely unimportant and insignificant? What if He chooses to use you as a conduit to set someone else up to complete His work? What if He piles glory and honor on somebody half as faithful to a relationship with Him as you are? Can you take it?

We're in the second week of a five week journey to balancing our demanding schedules. In last week's lesson, we learned the reason we exist is to be in relationship with God. Our value rests in that relationship and not in what we do. Once we understand that, we're then free to begin carefully folding in the activities of our lives. Though our value rests in being and not doing, God still expects us to be busy doing His work. And that includes tending His creation in the jobs we do.
