Good
Morning!
The last scripture that I listed yesterday
was Galatians 6:10, and that is what I want to talk about today. This
scripture tells us that The Lord wants us to be "mindful" to be a
blessing to others.........this is such a profound, yet simple,
principle! Just one of many principles that God has made available to
us, in order for us to have the "abundant life" that Jesus came to
give us (please read John 10:10)
You will never experience
"peace" if all you think about is yourself.....I know this,
because that is the way I used to live! (just me and my four and no more), and
always saying "what about me? what about me?"
Did you know that when you are "mind-full"
of yourself, it will lead to "confusion, frustration, and
eventually depression"? None of these things are the will of God
for your life! However, if you will choose to think about others,
and how you can be a "blessing" to them, this will stop the
enemy from stealing your peace and joy! It will also keep you from
"sinning". Let me explain, if you are always thinking
about yourself, that means that you are "worrying" about what is
going to happen to you.
Worry is a "sin", because to
"worry" means that you are in "fear".....you cannot
operate in fear and faith and the same time, they are opposing forces. God has
told us over and over again, in His Word, DO NOT FEAR!
There is so much more to say about this,
but I need to continue this tomorrow....I like to keep these encouragements
short so that you can get hold of what The Lord is saying without being
"overwhelmed"!
Have
a Blessed Day!!
(Keep it Simple) In His
Love, Luanne
