#008 Live Fully for Jesus - 86 Seconds Video Devotional - Gary Wilkerson

I'd like to ask you a question here this morning: Do you focus more on what people think of you or what God thinks of you? You see the one is living for the approval of man, the acceptance, the applause. And that's very costly. It'll cost you compromise. It'll cost you giving into the world's standards, to live as someone who's fitting in with culture. Or do you look for the approval of God, which is given freely to us when we just live as sons and daughters of the most high God. You have a choice today. Who are you going to live for?

When I'm making these videos for you, these 86 second videos every morning to help stir and challenge your life, some of you might ask, “Why are you putting your picture up on the screen every morning? I think you're looking for approval or applause.” Well, I hope I died to that. I hope I died to that a long time ago. I hope I'm doing this, and I pray that I'm doing this, not so much for any kind of applause of man or approval, but I hope I do this to stir your heart and to encourage you. There in lies the difference between a self-centered life and other-centered life. A self-centered life is a life that wants self to be a glorified and exalted in the eyes of man. Where an other-centered life is one that says, “I died to myself and I'm going to live fully for Jesus and living for Jesus makes me want to give myself away to other people.” So I hope these short videos help you think today about giving your life fully to Jesus.
