I pray that in your battles in life, you remember that this is only temporary and a resolution will come.
Life is not a sprint but a marathon
Reflect on why they hate you
A 2 minute reflection on Why Some People Will Hate You. Long enough to be mediated on and short enough to not lose your interest.
Thanks for another day of being sick
The last couple of weeks have been rough. Bad head cold followed by a cough that feels like Thor himself is hitting my chest with his hammer.
The thing about being sick (especially for me) is that I am an absolute baby. When sick, I cannot function. It’s times like this that I just wish the days go by.
I thank you lord for this day. I thank you lord for waking me up and giving me time to enjoy my family and friends. I know that times are rough, but the fact that I have been given another day should be celebrated.
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
