Life Is Ministry

So, no part of my life belongs to me, not even the most intimate area. There is no location, situation, relationship, or dimension of my life that belongs to me. Everything I have and everything I am belongs to the Lord. It is all his for the using.
This means that I have been brought into relationship with God not only so that I could be rescued from myself, but so that I may be part of God’s rescue of others. My life exists for his purposes, and I was given life and breath to help maximize the glory of Another. This is why life is ministry. 
Broken-Down House, Paul David Tripp, p. 196.
