Day 3 Praising God for the gift of Christs love
The love of Christ is a fierce thing. It can take the picture you have of yourself and burn it in the fire of his loving eyes, replacing it with a true masterpiece--Sheila Walsh
It is when we come to the Lord in our nothingness, our powerlessness that He then enables us to love in a way which , without Him, would be absolutely impossible--Elisabeth Elliot
The amount of power you experience to live a victorious triumphant Christian life is directly proportional to the freedom you give the Spirit to be Lord of your life! -Anne Graham Lotz
(this one was an eye opener for me, I know I struggle with truly giving the Spirit control of my life & that is a big reason I feel I fail many times in my Christian walk)
Day 4 Serve Him
1 John 5:2 We know we love God's children if we love God & obey his commandments.
The teachings of Jesus are clear. We achieve greatness through service to others. But we fall short of this when we lift ourselves up & glorify our own accomplishments.We need to resist that temptation to be self serving & reach out to others. Find a need and fill it...humbly. Lend a helping hand and share a word of kindness...anonymously, for this is God's way.
God has lots of people who intend to go to work for him "some day". What He needs is more people who are willing to work for Him today.- Marie T Freeman
Doing something positive toward another person is a practical approach to feeling good about yourself.- Barbara Johnson
If you want to discover your spirritual gifts, start obeying God. As you serve Him, you will find that He has given you the gifts that are necessary to follow through in obedience.- Anne Graham Lotz
My prayer is that I wont need to build myself up but that I become a humble servant to those who need my encouragement, my help & my love. (This can be a real challenge, it goes against our worldly flesh). I need to keep my eyes on Christ & live by His example to serve others humbly, faithfully & lovingly.
