This may be an un-neccessary reminder for some, but please, take a few moments (or longer if possible) to pray for people in need. When you see someone that needs something, please, don't just walk on by and assume the next person will take care of it.
You might not be able to stop and help someone on the side of the road.
You might not be able to donate money to every worthy cause.
You might not be able to reach out to someone in person that won't listen.
You might not be able to send supplies to help the latest disaster victims.
You might not be able to adopt a starving child in Africa.
BUT YOU CAN PRAY FOR THEM!
AND GOD CAN TOUCH THEM OR THEIR SITUATION WHERE YOU AND I CAN'T.
Don't ever hesitate to pray for someone or their situation! Don't listen to Satan's lie that it won't do any good. PRAYER CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS!
God wants to hear our prayers. He wants us to seek Him. He wants us to love one another. And their is no greater show of love than to pray for someone.
Love your neighbor today; Pray for him! Who is your neighbor? Everyone...
Have a blessed day!
AN ENCOURAGING WORD...
Wow! I am so tired and it seems to be a perpetual condition anymore. It isn't just a physical exhaustion, but a mental fatigue as well. I am afraid that my batteries are just not being fully recharged like they should. Anyone else feel this way?
I'll bet that there is and I want to share with you a message that Paul shared with the Corinthians.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9
Every time that I read this I remember who is there holding me up when the waves are crashing in. God loves me and doesn't want me to fail! When I seek God, everything else becomes manageable. My troubles don't disappear, but with Christ all things are possible. Those mountains just don't feel as insurmountable when I can feel God by my side.
God loves you and doesn't want you to fail either! I pray that you will seek God's kingdom and let Him lift you up today, too.

Brick By Brick....
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 2 Peter
Who says God doesn't speak to us? He is giving us some pretty clear instructions right here in 2 Peter.
Does it seem too overwhelming?
Just take it one step at a time. Add one brick at a time to your temple.
If we are faithful and diligent as God tells us to be, soon we will start to see a difference, not just in our selves, but the world around us as His light reflects from our lives into the darkenss that surrounds us.
We will never be perfect in this world, but we must strive for that which is good and righteous. Jesus gave us the example to follow. We just have to stick to the plan.
I pray God will bless your efforts daily that you may increase and glorify Him who makes all things possible. Have a blessed day!
