“For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done” (Matt. 16:27). Paul underscored the individual accounting of every life, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil” (2 Cor. 5:10), and “each of us will give an account of himself to God” (Rom. 14:12). And again, “Then each one will receive his commendation from God” (1 Cor. 4:5). Good news: the Lord will not judge you because you did not evangelize like Billy Graham, teach like Tim Keller, or write like Max Lucado. He will simply evaluate why you were, or were not, the best “you” that He created and graced you to be as a faithful steward and fruitful disciple. “What pleases God is how we use our gifts, not which ones we have…. The faithful use of a small gift elicits more delight in God than the poor use of a huge gift.”13”

“the motivational metamorphosis for most of us is more like a series of seemingly endless surgeries on a patient with massive orthopedic deformities. God carefully assesses, breaks, cuts away, implants, and reshapes why we do what we do—in repeated and lifelong resolve. Jesus is determined to help and heal us so that we will walk with integrity, intentionality, and Christ-centered endurance.”
