Hi Friends!
I want to give a short update on what has happened in the past week. Amongst the numerous visitations, feeding programs, creating and planning over 25 children's devotionals and Big Day service God has really showed me just how awesome his glory is. I have always thought that when someone was working and working that it was something good to be doing, but today I realized something totally different, and that is that God is always watching how you serve and how your attitude is when you are serving! I can say that working 14 hour days and sometimes more than that are nothing but pure blessings If I can use those hours to pour into and invest in the kingdom of God! I want to not only give offerings monetarily but with my life, devoting at least 2 hours and 40 minutes daily praying and worshiping God (even if it means getting up at 4:30 am to do it) I know that this is a e-mail that is strange but I had a revelation in my alone time with God today and I wanted to share it with you.
You do not have to be afraid or tired of your work, we all are children of God bought with a price that can never be compared to! What goes with that is power from on high that will sustain you in all your hard times, Many times we seem to keep God in the box and not even try to think to take him out of the box to see what he can and will do for us but when we take our mind off of the worldly and put it on the Godly we then see what can happen in the true life of people who walk after and seek a Holy God! The bible says in John 15:13 "That no one has greater love than he who lays his life down for his friends" If Jesus laid down his life for us "his friends" what can we do to pay him back? could we spend more time worshiping him and praying? Could we spend more time reading his word? Could we spend more time evangelizing to all of our "friends"? The answer to all of these questions are YES, but the personal question that you have to ask yourself is are you willing to take God out of the box and let him show you his marvelous miracles and mercy? I guarantee you that if you do that you will begin to see things that you have never been able to see, and you will be able to see and understand Gods plan for you way better than before.
Amor Verdadero VolverÃa a pagar el precio "True Love He will buy you back"
Watching all of the kids yesterday In our "Big Day" service and in all of our training for this drama intrigued me to seek God more and more. As I watch kids from the ages of 5 years old to 13 years old Singing and dancing for the Lord, It makes me think of all of the love that God has for me and for you, How he has bought us back by way of the cross of Calvary. There is nothing more powerful and awesome than hearing your own disciples singing and adoring the lord with all of their hearts. Many were saved yesterday and set free knowing that there is a love much bigger that has bought them back, a love that will never forsake them.
God Bless you and thank you for giving me the opportunity to share with you "My Friends" What God has been revealing to me in this last week.
