As I sat through it, I began to ponder my own ambition and what it is that God wants of me. I must confess that I am more often like the young Brengle who was interested in making his mark on the world. I feel the Lord working on me to be like the Brengle who wrote Helps to Holiness, making my ambition to fully follow Him. This is what I am wrestling with as I seem to get more worked up contemplating my next appointment and future accomplishments, rather than getting agitated by the need to share the Gospel with those around me. Today, I pray that the Spirit fill me with the same ambition as Brengle and I know that He will do it!
What is your life's ambition? If it is not to fully serve God, I challenge you to go to your knees and work it out with Him.
"And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure." 1 John 3:3
