a God send




Psalm 29:11 NLT
The Lord gives his people strength, The Lord blesses them with peace.

I am constantly amazed at the people that come into our lives.  Your outlook on life and your faith in God gives you perspective on these people and what is going on.  If we are a followers of Jesus, we ought to be looking for what God is doing, what God is teaching us, and how God wants to use us.

Often I am so busy that I miss the people who come my way.  Some of them have a word to share with me.  I am not saying that person is philosopher or some kind of prophet.  It may be the person who simply wants to tell you their God story.  It could be that God sent that person your way to let you minister to them.  We should be ready for these people that God sends.

It is time that we see people as “a God send” since God sent them our way.  Who came into your life yesterday that God sent?  Who might come into your life today?  Be ready to listen, respond, and see what God wants to do.

Hebrews 10:24 NLT
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.

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....
