in human strength…

salty desert soil, where nothing

can grow…

trees with roots that reach down to the water,

and with leaves that are always green.

They bear fruit every yearand are never worried by a lack of rain.

I Corinthians 13:3(CEV)

Treat others as you want them

to treat you

Matthew 7:12

CEV

I understand that my main purpose in life is to continue Jesus’ mission of seeking and saving the lost. I know there are hungry

souls in this world who often have no idea what they are searching for. It is clear in

God’s Word that we are to be a light in this world, to bear fruit, and most of all to love

one another. I realize that we are all created differently, we all impact different people, and that God can use me in a way that no one else can fulfill. Therefore I will commit

myself to personal evangelism and discipleship, to reaching out to others in love, and to treat others in a way that I

would wish to be treated.
