In the echoes of our earthly endeavors, let us not be ensnared by the illusion that our actions define the essence of our being. Such a perspective would confine our understanding of the Divine in our existence. What we undertake in service to the Divine serves merely as conduits for a grander design.
For the essence of our identity lies not in our individual deeds, but in the collective embrace of the Divine. Through the boundless depths of Love, we pledge ourselves to His service, seeking to illuminate His magnificence, rendering Him larger than the very essence of existence itself. Our aspiration is to love Him so profoundly that our existence resonates as that of a devoted servant.
Indeed, this path we tread is fraught with tribulations, laden with the weight of our personal crosses, yet it draws us nearer to His divine presence.
As servants of Love, our dedication is a matter of personal volition, a choice born out of an ardent devotion.
When we proclaim, when we instruct, when we lead in worship, when we spread the Gospel, when we prophesy, these actions emerge as manifestations of our communion with Him, born of obedience to His Word and intimate fellowship in His divine presence.
Though Paul may have adorned himself with the title of apostleship, (one who is sent to deliver a message) the essence of his "being" lay not in grandeur or authority, but in the humble submission as a bondservant, a messenger of Love's purest form.
As it is written in 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing."
Some people on earth are just LOUD! I have been there myself throughout my journey in Christ! No MORE!
Mark 6:30 the Twelve are called Apostles when mention is made of their return from the mission of preaching and healing on which Jesus had sent them.
We are sent as well as messengers living Epistles of God's Word Christ Like "beings" in Loving Service to Jesus!
