Last night millions of people watched as
individuals were celebrated and honoured at the Oscars. The top award was
sought after by so many but ended up being handed out to just a few. They will
hold that title long after it is forgotten by so many. Although it truly is an
honour for these actors, they are broken down or identified by these titles. It
makes the individuals objects. If we and our student just seek the titles or
labels of power, prestige or popularity there is a danger that we lose our
testimony in the process. If we just seek the title of the joker or the vice
president but we fall short in living our lives in way that is pleasing to God
then we will gain nothing. Our story should be informed by love and lived in a
grateful response to what God has already accomplished. Living for titles is a
hollow pursuit but living to share the testimony of what God has done and
continues to do in our lives will have a longer lasting impact then an Oscar
would give.
