Slave with a Clear Purpose

[S] 1 Corinthians 9:19 --
19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more.

[O] Paul realized he was set free by Christ's death on the Cross, but he he made himself a slave to all others by his choice because that would allow him to win more souls for Christ.  This is the mentality of a sold-out Christian and a model worthy to follow after.

[A] I am so busy trying to "get away" from many people that I really had it backwards.  I need to first find a way to serve Christ's purpose in my life and foundationally this is to win more souls.  So if I need to make myself a slave to all to fulfill this purpose, then I shouldn't be afraid to do that.  But I am....

[P] Dear Jesus, may my life first find the purpose and goal that you desire for me to attain, then let me think about pursuing my own plans.  Please use my life to the fullest to win more souls for You. In Jesus' name.  Amen.
