daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing this fine morning? I want to talk to you about our own walk with Jesus. To many times we compare ourselves to others or rather look down on others that don't believe our way or worse, think less of others with apathy for their state. Man o man that is just so opposite of what the scriptures teach. This body of Christ has some characters to say the least. Does that mean God loves them any more or any less than me or you? Does that mean because our convictions differ from the convictions that other Christian has that they are less than us, or we are less than them? Nope. We are the body. Our hands need to be reaching, our legs moving and our mouth encouraging others to Jesus. I don't really care if the preacher wears a robe or a t-shirt. I don't care if it is a fancy church or a barn and neither should you. None of that type of stuff has anything to do with salvation and our walk with the master. Sure if you have a choice to go to a fancy church or a barn make that choice but remember that you bring your worship, it isn't at or built into that place. We really need to pray and seek Jesus face in all we do and we need to look beyond the superficial to the heart of others we meet. We can have church in a parking lot, in a car, at the water cooler. People are hurting and it is our place to meet that need with compassion and with the Word of God. We all have baggage and we all have sins known only to God and ourselves. Church needs to be a place where we feel free enough to tell all and be a basket place if need be therefore church is where the needs are met. Wow! Where is your church? Where is the body of Christ in your life? Are you free to be and to do what Jesus taught? Is your heart hardened to different things than yours? Time to seek Jesus and soften that heart because the needs are many out there and it's time we wake up and step out on faith to the work God has meant for us to do.

Rom 12:3-8
For through the grace given to me I say to every man among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. And since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
NAS

Remember Diane and Ben...remember Tiffany and Piglett...remember each other...

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your grace that saved a wreck of a man like me. Thank you for teaching with others . Lord open our ears and hearts to whomever you choose to reach me. Lord I want to be your servant and to do your work but I need strength that only you can provide. I need the wisdom you gave Solomon because I so miss things. Lord be with those mentioned and comfort them, guide them, heal them, in Jesus name, amen
