I found myself chasing my tail trying to make others happy. I was doing it at work, trying to meet the demands of others that may or may not have had anything to do with my job, or the goals of the organization. Most of my efforts to satisfy these demands were a waste of time. Reading Galatians 1:1 it struck me—like Paul I was sent not sent into the ministry by men, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father. Apostle means “sent one.” We are not apostles in the official sense, but are sent nevertheless by God, to please God, and not to chase our tails trying to please men. This is Dr. Jay Quine. Remember that you are one sent on a mission of apostleship. You’ve been sent by God.
