It should come as no surprise that your name is written in heaven not because what you have done for God, but for what the Son of God has done for you. Understanding this right relationship is called being "justified." It is based on this that the Father calls you son or daughter and the Son calls you friend. So many strive to be heros in the church. They desire to "do something for God and man." The Bible says that there is none that are righteous, not even one. When we strive for recognition by God we are fooling ourself because all that is right in what we do is "in Christ." So it is time now to rest in God and be content with what He has given. God will indeed use you, but by His mercy He will not allow you to know it.
Daily Prayer: Lord, let us live the life the prophet Micah speaks of, which is to walk humbly before the Lord. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
