"But if we are the body Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing? Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way? There is a way."
What would happen if I actually lived this out? How can I do this?
- I make dinner for my sick neighbor
- I visit my friend's mother in the hospital and share Jesus
- I pour myself into my kids
- I show honor to my husband AND fervently prayed for his godly leadership in our family
- I hang a JESUS stocking on the mantle along with the others and started a tradition where each family member places a note describing their own gift to Him for the new year. What a great conversation starter for the visitors!
- I am swift to hear and slow to speak
- I place a mini table-top christmas tree somewhere special all year. I write the names or initials of those I love who are lost on bulbs and hang them on the tree. Through the year I can add names as well as remove those who got saved. Great visual to help remind me the harvest is plentiful
- Be a harvest worker!
- I handed out PD4 cards with a glad heart!
- I let Jesus inconvenience my timetable with His!!
- I spent the 24 days in December leading up to Christmas in dedicated prayer about..well whatever God wants to talk about. I hush and listen.
- I learn new things so God can use me in ways beyond MY capability. Yield and obey!
- I sincerely thank those who minister to my kids...
- ...and in turn, minister to theirs.
Wow, there are tons of ways to give our King gifts. How about just one?
