You are more than a conqueror, you are more than what people expect you to be. There is so much for you to do today. There are so many people in need of your touch, your laugh, your smile. Do not underestimate how important you are in the movement of this world today. Yes the world turns, but when it comes to God and all His children there is no reason that you can’t be the bold and the beautiful. Do not let anyone tell you that you are not gifted, and blessed. Do not let anyone tell you that God’s grace and mercy are not covering you. You are more than a conqueror today, so take hold of your blessings, and bless someone else.
Good day to you all! There will only ever be one you! Don’t let someone else love you more than you love you.
For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? James 2:2-4
I was at home the other day, and I had the television on. I wasn’t really watching it, but as I was listening I
heard something that caught my ear. I heard a commercial that said at the end, ‘Who you care about tells a lot about you.” I couldn’t help but think about how true that is. If you care only about those who have as much as you, that speaks to your compassion. If you only care about those who have status, then that speaks to your own self esteem. If you only care about family that speaks to your values. Jesus came to save the world. He did not come to condemn the world. Jesus came and surrounded himself with people of different walks of life, and he loved them all. Jesus let the world know that he cared about the world because he died for the world. There are people today who claim to walk in Jesus example, yet don’t care about people who are different than themselves. Aren’t you glad that we serve a God who does not discriminate?
Dear Reader I want to encourage you on this day to open up your heart. I want to encourage you to love someone who has been deemed unlovable. I used to feel like I wasn’t good enough. People have a tendency to make you feel that if you are not going their direction you are going the wrong way. Then I read about a man named Jesus. How easy would it have been to have the Son of God who owns everything, to only look out for the rich? Like I told you before the world made me feel that I wasn’t good enough, but Jesus saw the best in me, when everyone else around could only see the worst in me. So when that happened I returned the favor so that I could see the best in people when everyone else could only see the worst. Who you care about says a lot about you. Dear Reader there is someone who is in need of your caring. There is someone who is in need of the love that you have to give. The key is that they may not look like you. They may not be from your side of the tracks. They may not have what you have. However, they need you. Reach out to someone who needs a hand Dear Reader and show them where your heart is. Show them the love.
You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
John Reed
