The Resume Of Life

The Resume of life

Good Morning

Stand with me and lift up your bible and repeat after me.

This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am.

I can do what it says I can do.

I am going to learn how to be what it says I can be.

Today I will learn more of the word of God.

The indestructible, never ending, living word Of God.

I will never be the same.

I will never be the same.

In Jesus Name

Has anyone ever put together a resume for employment?

It is usually a description of what companies you have worked for, what positions you have held, what your duties were, and other details that pertain to applying for a new position with a company.

It is a brief explanation of who you are and what you can provide for the company that you are interested in working for.

Nowadays it is mostly accomplished by emailing it to a prospective employer or as part of the application process by just attaching to the application as document on website.

Then you start waiting and hoping that you will get a response.

Have you ever thought about putting your life on a resume?

You can put down where you have been, what you have accomplished, your successes, who you know, and maybe your failures.

Would you be happy with your resume?

I was not when I started thinking about it for this message.

When I look back at what I had hoped to be when I reached this age, guess what I started thinking about first?

My failures or my successes?

Hmmmmmmmm......

Both. I do something now that I was called to do.

I always try and tell people what I am involved with ministry and sharing the love of Jesus Christ.

I share the love of Christ to those behind bars, in rehabs, and those that live in shelters.

I try and teach them to look at what has happened in life for the positive.

It is not what I wanted to be doing in my life but now I am honored to be called to serve Him.

Each one of us are alive today for a purpose. We are all called by Him to have a life. We are to put Him first in all we do.

We are to become prisoners to walk in the calling that God has for our lives.

Open your bibles and turn to Ephesians 4:1. Say, “Amen” when you are there. Let's read together;

Ephesians 4:1 “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called.”

What is your calling?

Let’s look at your life’s resume.

Each of us has life experience in many areas that others may not have.

An example for you; Me

I was in sales for much of my life and for the past 20+ years I have been talking to people all over with the love of Christ. Not selling but sharing.

I can cook, but only for two. Not in a restaurant.

I can change a tire and do an oil change but not much else with my car.

I can use my computer for some things but cannot program one or fix it when I mess it up.

I can do things around the house but usually have to call an expert for the things major things that need to be

fixed.

Do you see what I mean?

Did you ever buy something and then change your mind and return it to where you bought it to get your money back?

Have you ever gotten a gift you did not want but could not return it?

We all get gifts from the Lord and we can either use them, avoid them, or keep trying to do our thing.

Turn to Romans 11:29 and say, “Amen” when you are there.

“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable “

There is a gift from God that is not returnable.

It is His love for you. You may not realize just how much He cares about you.

He let you be conceived in your mother’s womb and then gave you that first breath when you were born.

He has walked with you as you took your first step.

He listened as you spoke your first words.

He went with you your first day of school.

He pedaled with you on your first attempt to ride a bike without anyone’s help.

He was with you when you got your first job.

He was with you when you when you went on your first date.

He was with your when you fell in love.

He was with you when you lost a loved one.

He has been with you with every breath you have taken in your life.
