go get 'em

 


1 Thessalonians 3:8  NLT  

It gives us new life to know that you are standing firm in the Lord.


Go get ‘em.  You know, this talks about the people we pour our lives in to.  This comes through influence and living on purpose and with the call of God.


We influence the people we are around.  We are either building people up or tearing them down.  There is no middle ground where others stay the same because of us.  That is unless you are a hermit, living off the grid and never encounter other human beings.


Choose to help others stand firm.  Use what God has given you, how He has worked din your life to help others get stronger and to be who God made them to be.  That is why we need to have faith and follow how God leads.


For me there has been many people through the years that I have had the opportunity to help walk by faith.  Some were in my life for a long time while others only for a short time or even just one meeting.  Some of these relationships have distance where we rarely see each other face to face while others allow for lots of time together.


Use that time wisely to give away what God has given you.  Be consistent.  Live with purpose.  Share the blessings and the best of yourself so others are blessed and get to see God on their own as well as through your life.


Psalm 145:4  NLT  

Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power.


2 Timothy 2:2  NLT  

You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.


Proverbs 9:9  NLT  

Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser.  Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.


I am so grateful for those God has led in to my life.  Watch to see who God brings in to your life, people you can share life with and help be stronger in faith.  Doing this makes a huge difference now and in to eternity.

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....
