Let your actions count

We all are here to serve God and give hope to the world.  In doing this, we have to love, forgive and go the extra mile sometimes so that people can see Jesus in us.  We can’t control other people’s actions but we can control what we do.  It’s very important when we’re in situations to try and do what we think Jesus will do because this is how we gain peace and this is how we’re able to continue to do what we do.
 
Sometimes we may look like we’re fools or weak but that’s not the case at all.  When we do what we think God is calling us to do, we will never lose in any situation.  We all are part of The Body of Christ and when we don’t help our neighbor, we hurt them and when we hurt them, we hurt God.  If we know life is not about us, why are we not trying to mend things with others or allowing our light to shine?
 
People are hurting and people are angry, we all need Jesus and if we as Christians don’t do our part, darkness will come and this is why we hear so much stuff on the news or crazy things happening in the world.  No one is being the better person in situations so let's work to stop that with each other.
 
I remember when someone disappointed me and I sort of took myself out of the situation.  I had to pray because I didn’t want to go back because it was bad but I said if I don’t allow myself to stand firm in the storm, even though it was embarrassing, I will never be able to win in situations. I went back in that situation, stood firm in the storm, loved the people I was dealing with like it didn’t even happen and gave it to God.  I wanted people to see the light because when we go through situations, we can’t run because the same thing will happen somewhere else and we have to learn how to deal with things in order to win or get to the next level.  God was teaching me some things and at the same time showing others who He is through me.
 
After that, the situation got better, I’m respected now for my actions and it made a difference in my life as well as the lives of others. God was helping me to grow in wisdom as well.  See all bad things aren't bad things and this is why we have to accept God's grace and deal  with whatever is put before us.
 
Let’s make our actions count and let’s do what God is calling us to do so that we can grow and Build The Body of Christ together.

Amen and Thank You God
