I know I have to take care of things on the home front as a huge priority. Be it my daughters or a romantic relationship. Sometimes that ending a romantic relationship because it is causing too much stress and turmoil internally. I’ve been there before and it’s never easy but once a relationship goes into that toxic land unless both parties actions truly indicate both want it to mend its kind of pointless to work hard alone at it standing at the halfway point waiting like a kid waiting to get picked up by their distant parent only to be stood up. That’s a metaphor for the world to me. Much of this world is corrupt and driven only to acquire stuff and everything else is less of a priority. Imagine a world where people actually tried to help each other and tried to prioritize that over late hours at the office and pointless partying/drinking. I know I want that world so I’ll be that change. I will lead with my faith and heart and trust that He above all else will see me through as He always has. Remember fellas you’re never alone God is always there no matter how rough it may get and He is there during the golden days but don’t forget about Him just because life is good. Thank You God for your lessons in my life over the last couple of years. I’m happy to be Your student. I love You God amen 🙏

I am still learning as a new Christian of what and what not to do. Reading my Bible each day and going through the devotions provides me with knowledge of what I should and can do as a new Christian. Personally, I am learning by not saying a word and allowing my actions to do all of the talking for me; it seems to be working...Thabk you Heavenly Father for your trust in me and guiding me to do things I would not have done as a non-believer.

It is my mission to become more knowledgeable about God's will. To seek His awakening presence. To add good to the world and not take or expect the world to give me recognition, or security or material things. God must be my all. I pray that I may produce peace among my fellow man.
Holy Spirit, come to my forefront of my heart, please overflow Your love from me and solidify solarity amongst a dieing society. Allow me freedom to share the fruit of faith and hope.
Through Jesus Christ, my Lord
amen.

We are not here to develop a spiritual life of our own, or to enjoy a quiet spiritual retreat. We are here to have the full realization of Jesus Christ, for the purpose of building His body. ~ Oswald Chambers

For me, the best way to share my faith is not say a word and let my actions speak for me. Eventually someone will ask why I do what I do and then I will share God’s love and grace with them. I find this to be most effective for me. Love you Jesus. 💙💚💜🌮

It’s incredible to me how hand in hand a 12 step program and scripture go together. When I first entered recovery I was told, “you can’t give away something you don’t yet have”, because a common urge is to focus on making suggestions around you rather than continuing to focus on your own recovery and house cleaning. Once I had cleaned house I was told, “you can’t keep it if you don’t give it away.” The 12th step is to carry the message to others, and without it, without seeking to be of service to others, without becoming a channel of God’s Grace and mercy towards others, we become stagnant and lukewarm like the Dead Sea. The Holy Spirit wants to flow through us, to others. We can’t hold onto Gods love for ourselves, we feel Him most when we are being used as a channel, or a vessel, for others. The enemy will convince us they don’t want to be told the truth. I’ve found that depends a lot in delivery… Truth, is extending Gods love, grace, mercy, kindness. We are to love, by sharing our own experiences in failures and how God forgave us, rather than point out any flaws or failures in them. God, once they seek Him, will do the hard stuff. God, will help them face the “hard” truths. That’s not our job. We share our experiences, our failures, our hurts, and ask questions. Never pointing a finger, condemning, judging. God has instructed us to love, this is how I was taught to love 🙏🏻

That is one of my bigger struggles is openly speaking about my faith to people not in my home or people that don’t seem to be believers. I fear judgement of how people will react and what they’ll say. I pray God that You will break the chains that hold me back from showing your love and faithfulness the way I know I should. Have a great day all! God bless

The saying that “the only love we have is the love we give away” comes to mind as “the only FAITH we have is the FAITH we share with others.” The more we share our faith the more faith we have, the more faith we have the stronger we become in the Lord and the more we want to share that faith. In this day and time we have the opportunity to share our faith to a wide audience through our interactions on social media. Some will reject it, some will mock you but some will take your words to heart. Stay strong, keep sharing and share your faith

Lord God please help me overcome my fears, my hesitations, and my comfort zone. Please help me to open my mouth and speak the truth in love. Please help me to live the truth in love as well. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
299/365: How To Change Your World
you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. ~ Acts 1:8
Faith is designed to be shared, not kept. When you are ready to live it, do it like Jesus describes.
Jesus gave us a 4 step growth model to help us break away from our comfort zone and spread His message of hope, love, grace, and freedom. This model can change your corner of the world.
Think of Jerusalem as the place where you are accepted and find the most comfort. Judea is the outer reaches of your acquaintences, and somewhat familiar areas. Samaria is where your enemies live and the places you wish didn't exist, and the rest of the world are the unexplored places, strangers, and unfamiliar parts of your world.
GO DEEPER:
How to change your world?
Start at home and work your way out:
- Take care of business at home. With those closest to you.
- Live your faith among your community, your workplace, your familiar and well traveled locations
- Forgive your enemies and adversaries. Share God's love with those you find hard to love.
- Go to unknown places, unfamiliar neighborhoods, locations with little knowledge of God. Find the edges of your world who have never heard Christ's good news.
