Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom should I send? Who

will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

Isaiah 6:8

Instead of being self absorbed, grasping and clambering up the ladder of success, God has asked us to live for Him and for others. Instead of living your life pursuing the latest phone, the fastest car, the biggest house, the latest must have or-whatever, God calls us to first and foremost to pursue a relationship with Him.
