Thank you for letting me share how much you mean to me to others. As I meet new people I try to get to know them on a personal level, where there lives are going and where Gods plan is taking them. Then I tell them about myself and how I have just recently came back to church and as I say that I get a look of wow. Can a 22 year old that is starting his journey over with Jesus go and spread the word or should we just listen to the elders who sometimes claim to be closer instead of listening to the young men and women who are glowing in the light of Christ. I'm not saying not to listen to our elders or even our youth but No Matter What listen to the little voice in our hearts. I have learned almost everything I know about the church from my dad. He is a natural born leader of Christ. He has moved from Florida, South Carolina, and now North Carolina and taken something that was nothing, the Cursillo Movement, and watered, nurturered, and feed it till now all three are blooming and flurishing. I cant wait to get to Alaska and truly start my ministry and shine my light in a dark place.Become the leaded Jesus wants me to be. Not falling into the holes people try and pull you into but show them how to live life with passion and teach them how to strive for greatness within them selves. Clean out there hearts to let the light in so they can go forth and show others how to live with passion and purpose.
Knowing that I only have 7 days till I leave I feel that I should not be as calm as I am. As it grows closer you would think that I would be stressing on do I have enough money or where am I going to live when I get there. But having Jesus on my side He has slowed the storm and calmed the seas inside me. As I have said before if you truly give yourself, your heart body and soul, to God He will take care of all your needs. Worrying never added any time to our days so live today and let tomorrow worry about itself for tomorrow has enough problems of its own.
Andy, as an old man I have found several things I was taught in my churches throughout the years to not match the Holy Bible. For many years I listened and learned. Much memorizing I did too. As I read the Bible a few times I began to be enlightened on things that changed my mind, as I can trust "Gods Word" for eternity. I was putting my trust in what I had heard.
ReplyDelete2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
I never found where I am supposed to let others study for me and do as they say.
That is just my thought for the day! Keep walking the walk, sir. I am on the same team!~
