I’ve always heard that there’s no such thing as a dumb question. Ask any question and don’t feel foolish. For the record, there are dumb questions, such as the classic “When is the midnight buffet?” for example. Perhaps, we need to worry more about asking the wrong question.

The question isn’t how can you meet my needs, but how can I meet yours.

The question isn’t how can I make you see how you’ve wronged me and make you pay for it, but how can I seek to forgive you just as God in Christ has forgiven me.

The question is not how can I find the fulfilled life or my best life now, but how can I start giving my life away daily for the cause of Christ.

The question is not what will I get out of this Bible Study or service or event, but how can I give to someone else and share with them what God has shared with me.

The question is not how can God bless me, but how can God make me a blessing to someone else that I run into today.

The question (for single folk) isn’t how can I find the right person for a marriage partner, but how can I be the right person.

The question is when will sugar-free chocolate ever taste like real chocolate (and the answer to that one is the day after never!)

The question is not what plan does God have for my life, but how does He want me to be obedient and faithful and surrendered and available for Him to use right now in this moment.

There are probably many many other questions along these lines. The point is not about me, or my life, or my problems, but about God and His Kingdom advancing in the world and His glory displayed and His love winning the hearts of His people. The main question is how can I be a part of that and how can I be Jesus to someone in my world wherever I am.

Amen and amen.
