Characteristics of the Kingdom: Sacrificial
Let’s go out of our way today, laying down our preferences, our wants, and our desires to serve someone else.
My thoughts as I journey through this thing called life.
Let’s go out of our way today, laying down our preferences, our wants, and our desires to serve someone else.
The Kingdom is imbued with justice and overflows with mercy. And God has called us to live the same way.
The Kingdom is upside down to us but it’s simply because our perspective is incorrect.
I believe that learning how to be intentionally grateful in good times helps us better prepare for the rocky waters of life when they come.
I suspect that we might be so focused on the rules in one area of our lives, that we’re missing out on something greater being done.
God is graciously pointing out to me that trusting him is the posture that I should live in.
I was nominated for an award last year and I did nothing with it, so, I wanted to be sure that I responded to this one and followed through… but then I did nothing, yet again. I got caught up with life and let this post sit as a draft for almost 2 months. So, here we go! Better late than never, right?
When things seem bad or you begin to revert back to old behaviors, know that you can make a different choice. Make the decision to change your mind and continue to pursue God.
If you see something in someone else, even if it is buried deep within them, I encourage you to call it out today.
There’s a time for giving advice.
There’s also a time for being present.
And it’s our job to know what time it is and respond accordingly.
