Whoever claims to live in him must live
as Jesus did.
It is back to “mind dump Monday” today
as I share what is going through my mind.
As a new week begins there is snow on the ground, and this weekend was
very, very busy. Lots of great things
took place. One of the great things was
Valentine’s Day. It was good to spend
some time with my family, but I am even more excited to spend time with them
today.
Claiming to be one thing but living
like another is 100% wrong. We call
those that live this way hypocrites. Yet,
if we choose Jesus, we choose life and love and even abundance. It is in our reach. Enjoying life, living with purpose and living
in union with Jesus is possible.
Here are some pieces for today’s mind
dump:
= My favorite quote from our current
series is this … “when you love like Jesus loves, you’ll live like Jesus
lives.” --- Bob Goff
= Last night our Hispanic congregation
celebrated it’s first anniversary, and it was a great time of a mixture of
English and Spanish speaking family members.
There is much more to come.
= Saturday we hosted a health fair
during our 2nd Saturday outreach, and it was so good to talk with our partners,
learn from them and plan for even more outreach.
= During the health fair a couple of the
nurses shared about a few of the people they met. By checking some of their health, they were
able to connect them to medicine and medical attention that will make a big
difference in lives.
= What will really last are
relationships. People matter. All lives matter. Helping people understand that they matter is
incredible.
= Often times at the last minute God
shows up and gives answers. It opens our
eyes to know and experience God even more.
= If we have not experienced God, we
cannot share His goodness with others.
It is God’s love that changes us.
= Loving people proves that we are
following God.
= One of my favorite things recently is
a group of men I have been meeting with.
They are making me better and stronger.
We need people who believe in us and who speak in to our lives.
As iron sharpens iron, so a friend
sharpens a friend.
This week will be full of opportunities
that we have the choice to embrace or to push aside. My desire is to make others better because
God has and continue to make me stronger.
