*LIVING FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS.* _And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows (1 Thessalonians 3:12 NLT)._ Good evening dear friend. We recently learned that at the core of our pursuit of purpose is the service God calls us to provide to people around us. Purpose is a people-business. I was reading the third chapter of Paul's letter to the Ephesians and there are two things which Paul said that emphasized the point even further. In Ephesians 3:2, Paul talked about the administration of God’s grace that was given to him FOR his readers. The Apostle recognised that God had blessed him so that He could become a blessing to others. This is why Paul could suffer for those people. They were his constituents and he was going to give an account of his stewardship. So, as we go about the pursuit of God's purpose for our lives, we too must recognize the people for whom we have received an administration of God's grace. These are the people who will find comfort in the comfort we have received from God. It is also critical that we are able to look beyond ourselves and see how God is calling us to live for the good of others. Sometimes, it will be very inconvenient. Like Paul, we may have to suffer for the sake of the people we are called to serve. But our service will not be in vain but will be an avenue for the release of God's grace and the advancement of His Kingdom. *Pray by faith with me thus:* "Lord, help me to walk worthy of your calling for my life by being rooted and established in love for people." Amen. *Keypoint:* Each of us has received an administration of God's grace not for ourselves but for others. _______________ #justpurposedaily ©AimPurpose IfeOluwa 🗓 February 22, 2025 https://bit.ly/hi-aimpurpose
