God really knows when and how to shake things up...
Life is constantly changing and moving and yearning for you to play your part in it. So what or how are we going to contribute to this world and it's daily happenings?
I am trying so hard to hold my tongue and to learn to be more compassionate with people, especially customers at work. Being in customer service can ultimately harden your heart for people....... or you can choose to move forward and treat people as Jesus did.
I want to display LOVE, real love. I want people to see God in me. I cannot do that if my flesh is constantly angry and resentful. I want to act the way God yearns for me to act.
Ephesians 6:10-18
...Be sTrong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the Devil's schemes.
For our STRUGGLE is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers (government), against the authorities (bosses/parents), against the powers of this dark world (drugs/alcohol/addictions) and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to STAND your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Stand firm then, with the truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness, that comes form the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up your shield of FaITh, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the Helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirt on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for ALL the Lord's people....
i don't want to ever be content where i am in life.
i want to be moving and learning and experiencing...
i want to shake in my skin at the grace of my God and what He uses me for throughout my time on this earth.
i need your armor daily Lord. Consume with thoughts of you so I can, then, love others.
