According to Rick Warren, new Christians are welcomed in China by telling them Jesus now has new eyes to see with, new ears to listen with, new hands to help with, and a new heart to love others with. This analogy really stood out to me and made me think. Have I used my entire body and mind to serve Christ today? Not at all! Have I spoken like Christ, seen with His eyes, or used my heart to love others like He does today? NO! But, I know with His help I can try and use the rest of the day to serve Him in some way. In Mark 16:15, Jesus gives us the commandment to, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” Our job in this world is not to earn money, have a big house, advance in our career, get married, or even have children; our main responsibility is to tell everyone about our Savior, Jesus Christ! Why wouldn’t we want to tell everyone about His overflowing love for us! He comforts the sick, gives strength to the weak, and empowers the hopeless! He is calling you today to come to Him! If you have drifted away, He wants you to come back to Him – Just as you are!!! He truly loves us in sickness, in health, and for richer or poorer! He is the only thing we have that will never leave or forsake us! If you don’t know Jesus as your friend, don’t waste another minute! Accept Him today! Cry out to Him and He will answer you!
“I call to you, God, and you answer me.” Psalm 17:6
“Never will I leave you or forsake you” Hebrews 13:5
“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God” Ephesians 2:8

As I was drinking my coffe and flipping the channels I stopped on Joyce Meyers for a minute. I love her frank no-nonsense way of talking and I think she is really funny.
ReplyDeleteShe was talking about a friend who was spending alot of time praying for another friend who was in need of a mattress. The friend just kept on saying that she knew if she prayed enough God would give the other friend a new mattress. Joyce's repy to this was " Have you ever thought about giving her one of your spare ones? You have two that you don't even use." Joyce's point was that people spend alot of timing praying and asking for God to provide material things and not nearly enough time doing. She said many times he wants to work through us, but we are just to busy asking and not enough time listening and doing.
(See I do pay attention sometime and can be thoughtful if provoked!)
Love you sissy
