Worth It All :: Monday E-Devotion

"And so we keep on praying for you, that our God will make you worthy of
the life to which he called you. And we pray that God, by his power,
will fulfill all your good intentions and faithful deeds." 2
Thessalonians 1:11 (NLT)

Jesus paid the highest price. He died for us. Through His death and
suffering and now His life we are forgiven, accepted by God and given
the responsibility and ability to live for God. Are we worthy of Jesus'
death?

Without Him we are nothing. Without Him we are lost. Yet God said we
are worth Jesus' death.

Is living for Him worth it all? The Christian life is not easy. In
fact sometimes, it is tougher than we ever imagined. So, is it worth
living for Him?

Yes it is worth it all. Why? Jesus gave His life. Why can't we?

Yes it is worth it all. Why? People need to know Jesus. Why can't we
influence them?

Yes it is worth it all. Why? Because God has called us to serve Him by
serving and encouraging others.

Worth it all. It is that. Our investment in Christ lets others know we
mean business with our relationship with Jesus. What are we willing to
give? Maybe, what are we willing to give up?

For you, is it worth it all?

"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies
to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice-the kind he will accept.
When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?"
Romans 12:1 (NLT)

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
