Our physical state (healthy or sick, rich or poor, thin or fat, red or yellow) neither qualifies nor disqualifies us for entrance into the Kingdom of God: the ONLY thing that matters is our Spiritual state: whether our sins have been forgiven. If God forgives your sin, then you are in.
We don’t always have to know where the road leads as long as we know it is the right road. While we are “in the way” our Lord has commissioned us to go we must have the faith to take that first step and then, one step at a time, expect our Lord to show us His will about the next step.
You don’t have to be on the A team.
You don’t have to be on the B team.
You don’t have to have made the team.
You are loved.
If you’ll wait on God,
He WILL guide you through
The heart aches and pain
Into life ANEW!
“Learning to Live” starts with “An Awareness of God”.
If we indeed intend to heed God’s call to service, let us then commit ourselves to sanctification: to being washed by His Word. Let us determine to study God’s Word that He might set us apart unto Himself, for His use ONLY.
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love… And help us to be slow to judge and quick to forgive, ready to share your patience, your empathy and your love.
Do you realize there is nothing in your life you did not receive from God? Do you know that you are to faithfully manage everything you have received from God? Are you willing to erase the line between what is yours and what is God’s? How will you be spending the time and money that God has entrusted to your stewardship?
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards… I am thanking You now.
I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better… I am thanking You now.
I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears… I am thanking You now.
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves… I am thanking You now.
For the Christian, thanksgiving is not just a day but a way of life.
