Are you His bondservant?
Many years ago, those who needed money would contract o be a servant/slave to another. This contract was for a named number of years. The term used for this servitude was "bond servant."
On occasion, there were those who made the decisio0n to simply give the rest of their lives to the service of the master. In this case, the ear was pierced and an earring signified the decision to willingly serve.
In the Kingdom of Heaven, this piercing takes place in the heart and it is the result of the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
Paul eagerly and unashamedly identifies himself as a bondservant of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
Where are you in this regard? After all, isn't it your "reasonable service" ?
There is simply nothing else. Jesus is the only one who answers. He is the only one who has died for you,. He is the only one who has promised to prepare a place for you. He is the only one who understand the things that you can't even put into words.
Invest all that you are and all that you have in eternity.
Fall deeply in Love.
Determine to serve The Master.
