Don't Waste Your Inheritance

I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know Him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power for us who believe, according to the working of His great power. 

Ephesians 1:16-19

If you truly knew the hope to which you have been called,
you would not despair.
You would not lose your cool over menial issues.
You would not be content with living a mundane life.

If you truly knew the glorious inheritance you have been given,
you would not squander it on the things of this world.
You would not waste your time on video games or Facebook or blogs.
You would not be satisfied with using this inheritance
for anything less than the glory of the One who gave it to you.

If you truly knew the Love that was the driving force behind all of this,
you would not look in the mirror and be disappointed in what you see.
You would not hate your fellow man who has been shown this same Love.
You would not waste another moment not telling everyone around you of this Love.

May your heart be enlightened, may you be given a spirit of wisdom and revelation, in order that you might not squander your great inheritance.
