Opportunities for Christ

“For you have delivered my soul from death my eyes from tears and feet from falling.” “I believe therefore I spoke”Ps116:8-10

Our belief in our almighty savior Jesus Christ should motivate us to act. If we love Christ we trust Him. If we trust Christ we obey. If we obey Christ we Live. If we Live for Christ we Act.

Our actions are how we live out our love for Christ.

Everyday there’s opportunity to show Christ how much we love Him back for saving us.

DO WE TAKE IT??? “For Christ’s Love compels us” to live for Him. He saved our souls and “we believe therefore we speak” are we speaking? Do we daily represent our love for Christ through loving and sharing Christ with others? We’re seen by all men. Can all men see Jesus in us. 2Cor.3:2-3

“2You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody.

3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.”

Letting go of what people think

Becoming obsessed with what people think about you is the fastest way to forget what God thinks about you.

My mom taught me the common truth, “You can’t please everyone.”

From my observation, Christians seem to be more vulnerable to people-pleasing than most.

In reality, we should be the most resolved of all not to live for the applause of men but the approval of God.

• Don’t let anyone talk you out of following God’s voice.
• Don’t let anyone’s criticism distract you from your passion.
• Don’t long for affirmation before you move forward.

Say what God prompts you to say. Go where God leads you to go. Do what God puts on your heart. Let go of living for people. Become obsessed with living for God.
