A Mighty Power

As a believer in Christ Jesus as my Lord and Savior, there is a mighty power living on the inside of me. The great thing about that power is that it isn’t just placed there by God for my own benefit. Yes, He gives me the strength to do all things and He is there to guide me and comfort me, but greatest of all He shows me when someone else is in need of those very same things. He allows me to share the compassion and love of Christ with others. For that I am very thankful.

Acts 1:8(NLT) says,

⁸ “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

 

There is no greater love, no greater friend than Christ Jesus himself and with HIM on the inside of me, I confidently know that all things are possible. The Holy Spirit enables us to be a witness for Christ and to tell others about HIM. The Lord has done and continues to do so much for me each day, that I can’t help but share with someone else that He will do the same for all who believe in HIM.

To Cheer You

    Hearts abound everywhere as we celebrate this Happy Valentine's Day!  I love making crafts with my children and preparing treats to make the day special.  It's also great to have a holiday to focus on love and share it with others. But, wait. We as believers are commanded by Jesus Christ to have love as our focus in our daily lives, not just once a year.
    Proverbs 17:22 says, "A cheerful heart is good medicine."   What can you give someone today to give them a cheerful heart? Offer a smile, give a compliment. Let someone know how much you appreciate them or are thinking of them. There are so many things one can do, that just take a little thought. Giving someone else a cheerful heart could be just the thing you need to cheer your own.
Today is wonderful opportunity to share the love of Christ. After all, He showed us the greatest love when He sacrificed His own life to save ours. Happy Valentine's Day to all :)
