success with no regrets :: Friday E-Devotion

I am often floored by the Christians I talk to you that are full of regrets or depressed or feel as if they failed. We have GOT to get what God's says in our ears, hearts and minds. That means knowing so great stuff: God loves you, God fills you, God guides and gives success....and so much more.

In the past week Craig Groeschel from Lifechurch has written on the idea of success . Here are the four points that he said are huge points that will help us have less regret and grab the true understanding of success:

SPIRITUAL PASSION, INTEGRITY, HUMILITY, STRONG WORK ETHIC

Those seem to be stuff that comes with knowing who is in control. It is God. No me and not even the church. It is all about seeing that people hear about and get pointed toward God. Integrity and humility are tied to the fact that "we need God". Don't lose that.

What happens when we think we don't need God? Answer: regrets, failure and so much more.

I pray that a sweet look at some old Scripture may give you some real passion to serve God and serve the people He loves...

Psalm 139:23-24 (nlt) --- Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Matthew 5 (nlt) --- 5 God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth... 8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. 9 God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.

May God give us awesome, unstoppable passion to see people touched for our unending God! No regrets and God given success...

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....
