We haven't much time left here. Let's make it count! We who are saved and have come to know Jesus are His ambassadors to the lost and wounded souls. We feel Jesus' unconditional love, mercy and grace first hand and it is our witness that will plant the seed or water one that is already planted. We truly do not know how a small act of kindness, unconditional love, or a simple word will be of help to bring another soul to God.
A dear friend gave me a devotional book last night. Such a sweet, thoughtful gift! Jesus immediately used it this morning to teach me and to urge me to share it with you. Here is the Faith Step and the Bible Scripture for today.
Faith Step: Remind yourself, as you meet people throughout your day, that Jesus residing in you offers them hope.
Colossians 1:27New King James Version (NKJV)
27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which[a] is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
The above led me to draw even closer to the Lord. I ask Him to use me every day but now I have added to it ...As we seek more of Jesus, to let Him increase and ourselves to decrease in this life: We should each say this prayer every morning.
"Lord, please use me today to bring someone closer to You."
Matthew 5:14-16New King James Version (NKJV)
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Paris
After work last night, I was seeking Jesus on behalf of Paris (in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks), The Rhema Word I received was PRAYER - Psalm 145:18-19. So many underestimate or simply do not understand the power of prayer! Praying will accomplish more than any other activity we can do in this lifetime!
May these words be a blessing to you and may God use them to accomplish His purposes.
