Psalm 115:12-18

Psalm 115:12-18
English Standard Version (ESV)

  We will bless the Lord, because we have life within us, and that life is the life given by the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is at work within you, animating you, giving you true life that comes only from God.  Your life isn't just about breathing in and out, it's about getting to work in the world alongside God, doing works of love and justice, reaching out to the oppressed and sharing selfless love with others, just as selfless love has been shown to you in the person of Jesus Christ.
  We are not called to be silent, to be a dead-end where God's love stagnates within us.  It should flow through us into others, refreshing us and the world.  When we see places where love and justice are needed, may our lives be thrown into the task, and may we honor God by our service.

May we spend our energies serving, that we may imitate Christ
