The Love of a Servant

Yes! The love of a servant...sounds crazy...doesn't it. Is is even possible for a servant to love His master? To be a servant means to simply serve others. So, is it possible for me to love my Master (The Lord) AND serve others? I say, "Absolutely." Everything we do for Christ should come out of a heart of pure love for Him. I challenge you today to allow the Holy Spirit to dig deep into your heart...to reveal the uglies inside each of you. The BIG REVEAL is for one purpose...to draw you closer to Him. When you draw close to Him, He draws close to you. When you are close, you experience deeper intamacy and revelation. It is in that place of intimacy and deeper connection that you experience...and stand in the wonder of Our Lord. I encourage you to shake off all that hinders you and run toward Him and experience Him today! Experience Him as your Savior, encourager, your Jehovah Jireh, your Jehovah Nissi, your Jehovah Rapha, your El-Shaddai, your Abba Daddy, your Friend, your Guide...He really IS your everything...He really does satisfy and meet all your needs. One touch...an experience...will change you forever. Come an experience YOUR Master...let Him fill your heart with so much love that everything you do and say flows out of a GREAT love for Him...as you are transformed into loving servants!

Settling for Cheap Substitutes

When God speaks a Word to you...hold on to it...write it down, so you can bring it into remembrance often. God spoke a Word to Abraham. He said, ""And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered." One problem...Abram and Sarai were old and had been unable to conceive. They had a choice to make at that point. #1 They could believe that promise and trust in the Lord or #2 Doubt that promise. I implore you today...believe in and fully receive your promise from God! The same God who spoke it over your life will fulfill it! What a mighty God we serve! Don't take a substitute when you can have the REAL deal!

Compassion in the form of a cross

I have been studying the word compassion. The world and the Bible define compassion differently. Compassion simply means to sympathize and bear. You see when the Bible says that Christ had compassion it was always followed by Him doing something...sometimes it was healing, sometimes feeding, sometimes teaching...but, one thing is for sure it was always followed by an action. The world just says, "my heart goes out to them or I feel for them," without any action. The fascinating thing about Christs compasssion is that you never know what it will compel one to do.
So what causes us to not follow through on the acting part? It could be lack of money, busyness, inadequacies/insecurities, fear, our past, annoyances or many other things. It is time for us to lay those things down at the feet of Jesus, maybe even ask Him to slay this yuck in our lives. It is time grab the reigns on our lives and put the reigns in His hands and let Him do that GREAT work in us. After all Our Father in heaven had so much compassion on us that He DID something. He sent His only son, to die a horrific death on a cross, so each one of us could be reconciled to Him. The greatest action imaginable. Lord, help us get a revelation of the compassion you had for each one of us. Let us experience you in a new way. Amen
