Sometimes I just have to preach to myself, this is me talking to myself
I feel like God has had me quiet for a time, but now He is using me again. there is nothing, nothing nothing like serving the living God.
Yesterday a barrier was smashed. I have been assigned to the woman Im working for and to my mother (by God, to witness/minister to them.)
I have discovered afresh that Jesus came NOT to be served by men
(he didnt come saying, "All Humanity! I am the Lord Jesus Christ. Serve me or die!!")
But He came to SERVE.
Therefore, some of the people God places in your life - will only be ministered to when you take on a humble attitude of serving.
So, you have no right or place to justify yourself or demand anything of them. Because if youre serving them, its a one way exchange. You are giving to them - and you are not entitled to say at any point, "Now pay me back what I have given you."
Did Jesus do that?
Doesnt it say in 1 Corinthians, "Why do you not rather accept wrong?"
Isnt the LORD the one who avenges and who will cause you to break even?
Arent we separated from the world by this: the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence,
and the violent take it by force?
Arent we told to turn the other cheek and to go the extra mile and to give our cloak also?
I repent of serving my pastor better than my family.
I repent of always eyeing a situation wondering where Im going to get screwed and guarding against it.
I repent of justifying myself - God is my justifier.
I repent of acting in anger and unforgiveness. I will act in love! I will not be a murderer.
