"God
blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy"
Matthew 5:7
"Our Purpose is to glorify God by being a Blessing to
others!"
"We cannot plant the seed of bitterness and expect God
to harvest the fruit of blessings in our life."
We must be a blessing to others by having peace in our
heart with all men, I also believe that more believers fall from
grace because of a judgmental, bitter and
unforgiving heart than all the wars, drugs, and
pornography combined.
"Follow peace
with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord;
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any
root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be
defiled; Hebrews 12: 14-15
Just as
each one of us wakes up under the same sun as everyone else in the
world does, everyone of us has the same 24 hours each
day.
Each one of us
also wakes up having the same choice of starting out the
day being positive minded, joyful and showing mercy to others.
Glorifying God by being a blessing to Him and to all
others.
Or we have the
same choice to wake up each morning to do Satan's work by being
negative. Most of us are quite content with our lives until we
start to compare what we have with others, Instead of thanking
God for what He has given us this day, we become bitter and
resentful by comparing our life with someone who seems to have a
better life.
May
we always recogonize that the grass is never greener on
the other side, it just cost more to water and take care of
it.
Don't do Satan's work for him by comparing your life
with others by becoming mean spirited, judgmental and a curse to God
and to others. Shine your lights for Jesus!
God did not say
to be thankful "FOR" everything, He said to be thankful "IN"
everything. No matter what situation you find yourself in, find
something in that situation to give thanks to God for.
When I was
standing just several feet from a man who was fatally wounded
in a drive-by, I did not ask God, why did you put me in danger
like this?
I simply asked
God "What is it that you have me to do in this deadly
situation?
The spirit of
the Lord told me to pray for the young man who just had a brief time
to live.
I was so
thankful that I was there to pray for him and that he was not alone
in the last few moments of his life.
God has given us the power of choice to
be our own free moral agent in our lives, God does not
want us to be forced into serving Him. He does not want robots
who are programmed to do His will. He wants you on your own free
will to invite Him into your life as your Lord and
Savior. God's Plan of
Salvation
We have all been given the same
choice to receive God's blessings by doing it
His way, May we all choose to keep our
hearts as pure as possible, judging no one and keeping an open
heart, and an open mind in Giving God 100% of your trust. It is
from here that we will make the choice to glorify Him by being
a blessing and a miracle to all others.
You
cannot give God 90%
What is the
choice that we each have every single day?
The choice to
glorify God in everything we say and do.
How do we
glorify God?
"Christ
accepted you, so you should accept each other, which will bring
glory to God."
(Romans 15:7 NCV)
What is God's
promise to us if we glorify Him by making the right choice to show
compassion to all others?
"Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the Lord
delivers him in times of trouble. The Lord will protect him and
preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender
him to the desires of his foes." Psalm
41:1-2
There has never
been a time that God has never kept His promise with me and He will
do the same for you for making the right choice each and
everyday.
"Be the
miracle and the blessing that you were created for"
God believes
in you
