Hello dear ones!
Did you know that JESUS came so that we might have ABUNDANT LIFE and extend that LIFE to others? It is so important we make our hearts ready to receive JESUS’ love and extend it to others during this Christmas season and beyond.
Remember, everywhere you go, there are people who are in need. They may be smiling on the outside, but they are hurting on the inside. When things are going well for us, sometimes we fail to remember that people are dealing with health issues, family problems, rejection, broken relationships, and on and on. It is so important that we stay prayed up in the Holy Spirit when we are out and about so we can be ready for any situation. Ask the LORD to bring people across your path that you can minister to. Pray that the gifts of the Holy Spirit will flow through you to them.
You know, if you are a believer, you have a ministry. It may not be standing behind a pulpit in a church or be a missionary overseas, but God is counting on you to reach out to others and to be His messenger of life wherever you go.
If you see someone who is having a hard day, go over and encourage them that things will get better. Acts 10:38 says,
- God anointed JESUS of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, Who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
When we go about doing good and blessing people, we become like JESUS to them. We can release God’s goodness, grace, and love to that person. Remember to listen for the Holy Spirit’s still small voice and if He asks you to do something or say something, be obedient to do it. You may possibility save someoen’s life.
Have a wonderful Christmas week and know that Randy and I love you very much and pray your time with family and friends is blessed by His grace and filled with His joy and peace.
Merry Christmas,
Lisa Gordon
