Do not concern yourself with how good the service, attitude, ways, options are from other people, places and things.
Serve the way God expects you to. It is not about their service. It is about yours. We absoluty will not get away with telling Jesus I did this because they did that. Just like we put our trust in Him, He puts His trust in us to serve.... and introduce others to Jesus in us.
We are responsible to act and react like Christ. If everything has to be perfect to be in peace, have joy, be kind, be generous, be obedient with integrity an honor in Christ. Then we are not utilizing the fruit from God. It is easy to be these things when all is going our way ... but there is truth when we can remain in these things when things are not going our way.
I was reminded of a flu shot, when I first began learning the word of God in a deeper level. God showed me this. In order to get peace, you have to be around people, places and things that do not bring peace. You have to get a dose of the "flu" for your body to learn how to fight it naturally. It is the same with your spirit.
Go on and get your Peace Shot... it will most definitely activate Jesus in you... It is time for us to understand how to Show What You Know! We are not learning the word of God just to know it. We are learning it to use it as weapons. Weapons that demolish strong holds... Pick up your weapons from Jesus and WIN!
2 Corinthians 10:4 NIV
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
James 1:22 NIV
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says
1 Peter 3:9-14 NIV
9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. 11 They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”[a] 13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats[b]; do not be frightened.”[c]
Luke 6:32-36 NIV
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
