📖 “Him we preach and proclaim, warning and admonishing everyone and instructing everyone in all wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God), that we may present every person mature (full-grown, fully initiated, complete, and perfect) in Christ (the Anointed One). For this I labor [unto weariness], striving with all the superhuman energy which He so mightily enkindles and works within me." -Colossians 1:28-29 AMPC
Paul was walking out the call of God. He was fulfilling his purpose. He was laboring to the point of weariness and depending on the Greater One on the inside of him to strengthen him and supply him with the energy he needed. That should be our attitude toward our purpose and calling. We should pursue it with all of our might. We should depend on the Greater One to energize us to go above and beyond. Jesus did the same thing when He was on earth. He was teaching, preaching, and setting the people free. Jesus gave it all He had, and we should do no less. We should give God everything we have, plus some. It's the least that we can do because of all that He has sacrificed so that we can be free.
