We Effect Others

Have you ever thought that others where watching what you are doing and decided whether or not it is worth following. If we saw Jesus saying one thing and turning around doing another (which we never will) would we want to follow? If not why do we think as Christians we can follow Christ and act any way we want. People watch us as Christians and decide whether or not it is worth following. In Hebrews 12:12 it says, "so take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong." We cant go through life always worrying about our own survivial but how we are influencing others and being a good example! If we are living for Christ, as we claim to be then we have a responsibility in this world and that is to show the love of Christ and follow hard after HIM! I just want to leave you with a few Questions to think about. Does your example make it easier for others to believe in and follow Christ, and to mature in Him? Would those who follow you end up confused and misled? Let go out into this world and fight for VICTORY!!! Lets bring the weak to Christ so they may become strong.

Lost but now Found!!!

For the past several weeks I have been feeling lost. Having God calling me into his vision has been an enjoyable ride but the more I try to figure things out the more I find my self leaning on my own instincts. It came to a point that I was ready to give up and go back to a comfortable life that I had. But after last night with M.E.S.S I truly heard Gods voice of encouragement to continue on with his plan which re-sparked my excitement and joy to follow Him and only Him. Feeling the Spirit guide me to His plan is so exciting and so refreshing. Our God is so dangerous and His plans to man are so crazy but He is so Faithful and this is what makes HIM GOD AND GOD ALONE!!!! I love serving such a a powerful God.
