Too many times, we work of emotion. We are quick to react and more often than not, we end up regretting our actions. Lets all take a min to just breath and take our time before we commit our thoughts or actions to anything.
When in doubt…wait…

Who among us is going after the lost sheep
Luke 15:1, 3-4
“Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear him…Then Jesus told them this parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?”
Are we actively pursuing “lost sheep”?
Are we willing to leave behind our friendships, social network, family and even church involvements to pursue, go after lost sheep?
Are we willing to go after lost sheep until they are found?
This re-orientation of priorities is radical and rare among God’s people. The lost sheep are the “low hanging fruit.” They know what it means to follow the Shepherd; they once grazed next to us, but now they have wondered off.
Who is pursuing them?
Who is going after them?
Jesus was on a mission to pursue lost sheep. He still is.
Lord Jesus, fill me with your love for people who have wandered away from your family. I desire to live on your mission and not just for myself.
It’s hard to go after lost sheep when you are judgmental. Love one another as Jesus has taught us. That will open the door to all. PJSLB
Morning devotional – 01-11-17
Taken from the first 5 app. It’s a wonderful app to start the day with. The main point I took from today’s devotional is:
We have an enemy as real as the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. His goal is to steal, kill and destroy our relationship with God. (John 10:10) He is as subtle and crafty as the Gibeonites. With names like deceiver (2 Corinthians 11:3) and father of lies (John 8:44) we must be always be on the lookout. We can’t ever let our guard down.
Have a blessed morning. God Bless!
Daily Devotional – Why I love Christmas
I love Christmas. Christmas is a time with family and friends, crowded malls, shopping, egg nog, Christmas plays, exchanging gifts, more crowded malls, more shopping, etc. It can drive you completely crazy but thats okay!
This morning, Max Lucado reminded me why i love this time of year. Its the time of year where everyone and i mean EVERYONE asks, thinks, talks, reflects on Jesus. Even non believers will be seeing displays of the manger or the three kings following the star. The birth of Jesus, so humble so peaceful is a story thats being told every min of this month and as a Christian, I am aware that this is an opportunity to share Christ.
Do you know someone who loves this time of year and is not a Christian? If so, pray that the Holy Spirit move you in sharing what this time of year really means to them. As followers of Christ, it is our duty to share the word of Christ to all. This time of year just makes it that much easier.
Lets the season of sharing the Word of God begin! Have a good morning – PJSLB
This is conversation my wife and i will be having very soon!
