Fired Up in a calmed down state

TWO THINGS:

1. In thinking and talking about Jesus’ return, and eternity with Him, and our glorified bodies and the end times…sometimes, its just so surreal to think of ETERNITY. My mind cannot grasp it! It’s so weird to try and grasp, life will never end. We will one day, be in the actual presence of Jesus Christ, our Savior. All will be made right…so crazy. My mind can’t even comprehend, and I can almost make my head spin thinking about it.
   #EXCITED

p.s.
teaching these past 2days have been really rich to me. Praise You God for that!

2. Love the ‘unloveables.’ Jesus died for people, therefore we need to love people. We need to remember that people are always more important than what we THINK we need to get done, or WANT to do. We need people. They keep us humble, they challenge us, they stretch us, God uses people mightily in our lives. All sorts of people. Some people, just need us to give them a chance. Some people have just had so much rejection and hurt in their life, that all they need is people to listen and give them the time of day. What’s so wrong with that? We just want the same thing from other’s at times, so how can we expect people to give us that if we don’t give that attention and love to others?
   Im sick of being that person who is to quick to judge and just write off people. I’m sick of seeing people do that to precious children of God who just need love. We are no better. Yet we get so fixed on our own selfishness. If we only just stop looking at ourselves, and take time to actually listen to what others are REALLY saying, we will find that God brings complete blessing in those moments, and we fall so much more in love with people, and with God.

Don’t miss those opportunities. please. Don’t be quick to judge. Don’t think your own life and stuff is more important than anyone. Always be willing to give of yourself, we are not here for ourselves, we are bondservants of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we do what our Master tells us to do. We are not slaves to money, or ourselves or to others, but to Jesus Christ alone.

 

VERSE OF THE DAY:
”On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.”
1 Corinthians 12:22-26
