why not?


Why not?  That is a tough thought for someone who leans to the dark-side of things or struggles with negative thoughts.  I have to fight sometimes to stay positive.

God calls us to live out of our potential and calling.  For me my purpose of calling out the potential of others is a huge deal.  God calls us to run toward Him, to kick fear away and to seize excellent opportunities as they come our way.

I should be the one for my family and even for our church who sees possibilities and helps each of us to reach for them.  It is easy to take the easy road.  It is much easier to cower under fear and what doesn’t require sacrifice.

What do we miss if we don’t take challenges or make sacrifices?  We will miss rewards and blessings.  Others will miss rewards.  Our living won’t challenge others to live by faith or to live with passion.

Try to use these words this week.  Why not?  Instead of questioning or settling of less.  Shoot for more.  Take the next step.  Believe God for more!

Philippians 3:14  NLT
I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Daniel 3:17-18  NLT
If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.

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....
