The first day I met the staff in 1998, one staff member asked, "What would you like on your tombstone." (I believe it was a question he read in an interview book and not a threat.)
Without hesitation, I replied with the words from Matthew 25:23, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
As we draw closer towards The Master's Plan, the same answer is true. Why are we doing this? Why are we focusing so hard and for so long? Why are we spending all this time and energy? For me, there can be only one answer. I look forward to that day in which I see my Savior face to face. And with those grace-filled arms wrapped around me, I want to hear whispered in my ear those words I've spent a lifetime waiting to hear.
"Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done!"
It's not that I suffer from a deep need for constant affirmation! That's not it at all. It's just that when it is all said and done, there is only One whose favor I seek.
