Could you be mistaken for Christ?

A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago . They had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for their nearly missed boarding... ALL BUT ONE !!! He paused, took a deep breath, and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl whose apple stand had been overturned. He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye, told one of them to call his wife when they arrived at their home destination and explain his taking a later flight. Then he returned to the terminal where the apples were all over the terminal floor. He was glad he did. The 16 year old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the same time helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled about her, no one stopping and no one to care for her plight. The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them back on the table and helped organize her display. As he did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered and bruised; these he set aside in another basket. When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl, 'Here, please take this $40 for the damage we did. Are you okay?' She nodded through her tears. He continued on with, 'I hope we didn't spoil your day too badly.' As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called out to him, 'Mister.......' He paused and turned to look back into those blind eyes. She continued, 'Are you Jesus?' He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he made his way to catch the later flight with that question burning and bouncing about in his soul: 'Are you Jesus?' Do people mistake you for Jesus? That's our Destiny, is it not? To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the difference as we live and interact with a world that is blind to His love, life and grace. If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would. Knowing Him is more than simply quoting Scripture and going to church. It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day.

Just a Thought

Words are only meaningful for the moment but over time they will carry very little significance if not put into motion.

Stick To the Plan

Jeremiah 29:11 is my favorite verse in the whole Bible. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Man, there's more promise in that verse than a whole presidential campaign. We love that verse. It gives you a sense of purpose and sure footing in an unsteady ever changing world. BUT, there something about this chapter that we tend to either overlook or not pay attention. This scripture is part of a prophesy being given to people who are living in exile. FUN, FUN, FUN!!! In verses 5 through 7, God is giving instructions of build homes, get married, have children, live in peace, and pray for the country and the people who took you captive. WHAT?!? Let me get this right God, You expect me to live like nothings wrong although my home was destroyed, I am being held captive in this place I hate, and you want me to pray for them??? God, you are tripping!!! Here's my prayer, Lord, strike em down Father (In My Grandma Voice) But that's not to be our response. The only response God wants is obedience. God gives all the instructions because, I know the plans I have for you," declares the lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. You may not like the plan, you may not understand the plan, but because we love God, we will trust God. We will trust that he has our best interest in mind. He didn't promise it would be easy, He didn't promise it would be fun. What he did promise was to never leave you nor forsake you. We have to trust the plan, but more so trust the planner. Father knows best.

You may never know that JESUS is all you need, until JESUS is all you have. People and things come and go, but HE still remains the same, the only sure thing.

Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.
