…so that I may finish my race
with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus… —Acts 20:24
“Joy comes from seeing the
complete fulfillment of the specific purpose for which I was created and born
again, not from successfully doing something of my own choosing. The joy our
Lord experienced came from doing what the Father sent Him to do. And He says to
us, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21). […] “Do you love
Me?” Then, “Feed My sheep” (John 21:17). He is not offering us a choice of how
we can serve Him; He is asking for absolute loyalty to His commission, a
faithfulness to what we discern when we are in the closest possible fellowship
with God.” CHAMBERS
All of us have a place in the
Body of Christ. We each have a part of
God’s purpose for His creation. To
fulfill that purpose, we must be faithful and obedient. We must be willing to serve where He plants
our feet. In whatever capacity that God
has shaped us for. You don’t have to be
a preacher, missionary or evangelist to serve God. But you may be. The point is that you are proclaimer of God’s
message to the world. John 3:16. John
14:6 (look those up if you don’t have them memorized already). Housewife, husband, student, son, daughter,
brother, sister, dad, mom … butcher .. baker .. candlestick maker … it doesn’t
matter … you are part of the Body of Christ.
Live faithfully and let your life shout out to the world … “JESUS SAVES”! ELGIN
“I Am A Promise”
Gaithers
“I am a promise, I am a
possibility. I am a promise with a
capital “P”. I am a great big bunch of
potentiality. And if I listen, I can
hear God’s voice, And if I listen, He will help me make the right choice. I am a promise to be, anything God wants me
to be!”
