The Bible repeatedly says to "serve the Lord with all your heart". God wants you to serve Him passionately, not dutifully. People rarely excel at tasks they don't enjoy doing or feel passionate about. God wants you to use your natural interests to serve Him and others.
One characteristic of serving God from your heart is effectiveness: whenever you do what God has wired you to to love to do, you get good at it. Passion drives Perfection.
In serving God with all your heart, you are obeying Him. Obedience is better than sacrfice and your obedience willl go down in His books!
To make a mark with God, you also have to please Him. And you can only please Him by faith. Faith is having confidence in God.
When you victoriously exude your anticipation of miracles, God is pleasured and you will be remembered for the pleasure you created.
Don't settle for achieving the "good life", because the good life is not good enough. Ultimately, it doesn't satisfy. You can have a lot to live on and still have nothing to live for. Aim instead for the "better life" -- Serving God in a way that expresses your heart.
Figure out what you love to do- that which God gave you a heart for and then do it for His Glory!
Have a Splendid New year!!...Expect Great things from God.
Romans 12: 6-11 "We have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If a man's gift is prphesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith............Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord"

Between Egypt and Canaan
The road of life is a very long one. Between where you came from (Egypt) and where you are going to (Canaan), there will be temptations. You will always be in a new environment where there are many choices: to speak that profane language, to lie at work and cheat your boss, to just blend in with the crowd!
The thing is you just gotta stand out! The bible reminds you not to take on the customs of the Canaan you are going to! Their rules should not rule your life....
...rather, look to your amkeer in Heaven..Follow his rules, live by his law...let the word of God be your number one prophet!
Be alert for temptations and traps, do not conform to the world's standards.
The reward is that you will live- live victoriusly!!
Leveticus 18:3 -5 " you must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God. Keep my decress and laws, for the man who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord"
