It's Not About Us.....

     Matthew 24:42  Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. (KJV)

Lately it seems as though alot of people have taken for granted their very existance. More and more our world has become overwhelmed with SELF. We go here, do this, do that, want this, seek this, get this; all in all, circling like vultures for our next piece of happiness, not giving any thought to others, or where they will spend eternity, or when we may enter there.

Several times lately, I've heard people asking the same question, "why do they never talk about God?" or, "why are they acting that way?". And the sad part is, these questions are being asked of Christians. We should, as Christians, act as though it's our last day here on earth. We all have loved ones, neighbors, or friends that do not know the Lord. Whether we talk to them about the Lord and their Salvation (which we should) or not, we should at least let them see Him in our life.

We do not know when Christ will return....But, we do know He WILL.....We should all be ready for Him when He comes to take us home; be doing His work - not ours, and telling others of Him.

     Matthew 25:13  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (KJV)

Praying that we all let go of ourselves for a while and focus on God and others; our time is short...........

The acronym J-O-Y says, JESUS-OTHERS-YOURSELF.......Let's all strive for this and when we do, we will have the joy that only God can give!

Praying Together and Loving You...........

Just Do It

At times, I have thoughts just pop into my head; where do they come from?

Have you ever wondered why you suddenly think of things; ideas that come into your head for no reason, or thoughts of doing something totally outrageous. There is a reason and it isn't from you or me.

     Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (KJV)

God is working in us all the time. When we have thoughts of doing things for the Lord or for others that we think seem impossible, it's from God. We know we can't do things on our own, so we automatically disregard those thougths and we shouldn't. When God prompts our heart to do something...Just Do It. He is the one putting the desires in our heart and gives us the ability to follow through.

     Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ (KJV)

The day you asked Jesus into your heart, He began a work in you; He began prompting your heart and He will give you what you need to serve Him and others. Trust His Word!

God does not call the equipped-He equips the called!!

He will provide where He guides................
