It is a habit for me already that before I will start my day I will give a time to the Lord. I will allow Him to talk to me first. I have a daily devotional book and a bible to read each morning....
Today's word for me is kind of different. It really echoes in my heart and mind.
Allow me to share to you what it says...
"IF YOU PREACH, JUST PREACH GOD's MESSAGE, nothing else; IF YOU HELP, JUST HELP, dont take over; IF YOU TEACH, STICK TO YOUR TEACHING; IF YOU GIVE ENCOURAGING GUIDANCE, be careful that you don't get bossy; IF YOU'RE PUT IN CHARGE, don't manipulate; IF YOU'RE CALLED TO GIVE AID TO THE PEOPLE IN DISTRESS, keep your eyes and be quick to respond; IF YOU WORK WITH THE DISADVANTAGED, don't let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them.
*Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it"
Wow! What a word! If all believers are doing these, we could make a big difference in this lost and dying world.
Let the glory of God shines in us!
I pray that His word speaks into your hearts as it speaks mine.
