Ever hear so much that you just need time to absorb it all? I need time to breathe what I learned today from my student Pastor Kevin. He preached about the pictures we as christians, paint of who God is. Others are looking. What picture are we painting of God? It is this picture that others see (thus the word "Christ-Like") of Christ. Is it accurate? Have I recently checked if my life's activities are grounded and covered with unselfish love? I have to confess, the easiest group I tend to lapse from showing unselfish love to is...I'm ashamed to type it..is my family. Can I confess that? It is in my home that I am more selfish, self-centered and have expectations.
Kevin, I'll take your challenge and ask God to make these words for ME true in my home.
1 Corinthians 13:
4 Karen is patient and kind. Karen is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. Karen does not demand her own way. Karen is not irritable, and keeps no record of being wronged. 6 Karen does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Karen never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance..

- My fav verse is Galatians 5:1 b/c when I asked Jesus to be my Lord, I was freed from the things that caused bondage in my life:fear...sin...unforgiving heart. I still struggle with thosethings but they do not have a chokehold on me, you know? He replaced those things with peace and the persuit of living and loving like Him.
