I think we have all experienced looking into the sky and being surprised by the dazzling sunset before us. The colors and textures make us gasp in astonishment. I dream of living a life like that. 

St Paul says in Philippians 1, “Live a lover’s life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God.”

When it’s all said and done, I don’t want people to remember me because I was witty, funny, smart, creative or nice. I want my life to embody so much competent love that people gasp in astonishment and are unwittingly drawn into amazement with Jesus.
