The end of the show
Time speeds ahead, when time used to stand still
and I can't catch time when I'm running uphill
and I can't make up time that I threw away
The only time I have is this moment, this day
I've got time to die or I've got time to grow
because when the music fades...it's the end of the show
I have to remember that yesterday's gone
and I can't forget I might not see another dawn
but it seems to me, and this is just the way it seems
that if I'm happy right now, then I'm living my dreams
and why shouldn't I shine, why shouldn't I glow
because when the curtain falls...it's the end of the show
All my little babies, on earth no one gets put above you
I will love you forever, and forever I will love you
This life is but a moment and you only get one shot
but don't think for a moment that it's all that you've got
It doesn't matter where you're at in life, but where you're gonna go
because when the lights go out...it's the end of the show
and I can't catch time when I'm running uphill
and I can't make up time that I threw away
The only time I have is this moment, this day
I've got time to die or I've got time to grow
because when the music fades...it's the end of the show
I have to remember that yesterday's gone
and I can't forget I might not see another dawn
but it seems to me, and this is just the way it seems
that if I'm happy right now, then I'm living my dreams
and why shouldn't I shine, why shouldn't I glow
because when the curtain falls...it's the end of the show
All my little babies, on earth no one gets put above you
I will love you forever, and forever I will love you
This life is but a moment and you only get one shot
but don't think for a moment that it's all that you've got
It doesn't matter where you're at in life, but where you're gonna go
because when the lights go out...it's the end of the show

The world's definition of success differs greatly from
God's. Take the role of a pastor, for example--it would be easy to accept
accolades for church growth, as many people equate high attendance numbers with
a minister's effectiveness. But the Lord desires that we obey Him with
humility. Whether we draw a crowd or not, success is measured by obedience.
This looks different for each believer. Some Christians have
very visible jobs, so their efforts are public and obvious. Others serve Christ
in quiet, less noticeable ways.
God bestows upon His followers gifts tailored to each one's
ordained assignments. The Holy Spirit reveals our calling, and we're to give
our best effort. Of course, no matter what the task may be, the result will be
worthless unless the Father breathes life into it. In other words, we are
entrusted with God-appointed work. He assigns the duty, provides the skills,
and causes growth. The Lord deserves all of the glory. We are blessed simply to
be a part of His plan.
As mere vessels that God uses, we should be thankful for
anything He accomplishes through us. And by giving Him all the credit, we need never
feel defeated with disappointment. Rather, in spite of how things may appear,
we trust Him to achieve His good purpose.
Honor is misplaced unless it goes directly to the One who
creates, sanctifies, and sustains. God created you for specific tasks to
further His kingdom. He wants to use your life--and will allow you to watch His
powerful hand at work. Listen for His leading, and praise Him for all He
accomplishes.
