God does not need perfect people, to do his bidding. He needs people to answer the call, when he asks. Don’t try and be perfect, before you serve God. He already sent Jesus to to remedy your imperfection. God uses imperfect people, to accomplish his plan, to those that put their trust and faith in him. Will it be you, today?

Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
Isaiah 6:8 NASB

The Christian life, is not about remembering a point in time. Salvation is about that, but it is just the beginning. We are called to follow Jesus, and that is not an intellectual exercise. The Bible says that even the demons acknowledge Jesus and shutter! We are Called to Read and study, meditate and pray, serve one another, minister to the weak and poor, share His Story…..You get the idea. If you have been, negligent in this area, confess it. We serve a gracious God who forgives, and separates our sins, as far as the East is from the West. Is that not Amazing! Let’s go out today, filled with the Spirit, and see what God will do. Please share if you see his work in your life today. I know I have already this morning. I had no idea I would be writing this, even after I saw the verse. God is so Good. Thank you Jesus!

The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:9 NASB

No Fear: Notice…….it is not in our own strength, it is a strength, that comes from above. It is a hope and faith, that puts our fate, in the hands of a loving and merciful God.

“Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord God is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.”
Isaiah 12:2 NASB

Consider this……Paul, was writing this to Timothy, who was being pressed on all sides and wavering. Even though, just associating with Paul, might bring him death, for naming the name of Jesus, Paul write these word’s of exhortation. What fears are you facing today? Consider Paul’s word’s and meditate on them in faith, that God will bring you through it. Praying for you today that you will be strengthened.

For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/2ti.1.7/36069

I want you to stop and think about this, with me for a minute. Jesus’s way, is not the world’s way. We are called to Love our enemies, not destroy and overcome, like the worldly view. We overcome with Love and Compassion, just as Jesus did. Think about an enemy, or someone you are at war (there is strife of some sort) with right now. Show compassion and love to them, but don’t do it to get something. Do it because that is how Jesus did it. The rest is not up to us. God Bless you today.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
LUKE 6:36 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/luk.6.36/420

Lord, may our hearts humbly bow before you, in persistent prayer. May we be alert, to the needs of others, so we might lift them up. Reveal yourself to us, through answered prayer, even though it may not be, what we wanted the outcome to be. May we always remember, that you care about us and love hearing our petitions.

Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
COLOSSIANS 4:2 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.4.2.NASB

Following Jesus, is not for cowards. No matter what comes our way, we know that nothing, can take us down. Even in death, we will rise again, to be with our risen Lord. What a hope, we have in Jesus. My prayer, is that during this Easter season, and every day, we share that hope, so that those without hope, will find it, in our risen Lord.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
