Live It, Share It
“I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ
Jesus.” – 2 Corinthians 1:4
You are
blessed beyond measure. The world is
such an incredible place and we are privileged to walk along side of you. For you see the day you were created deep
inside the secret places of angels and our Creator a plan was ignited, and hundreds
if not thousands of lives were destined to be changed. While you were developing within the confines
of your blessed mother’s womb, those before and after you were likewise
anticipating the birth and the opportunity to engage with you and experience
the joy, the laughter and the beauty that you have brought to the world. Not for one minute can you exist on this
earth without impacting another’s life deeply.
The moment you took your first breath, the nurses, the doctors and your
parents were overcome with wonder and amazement. You have continued to influence others
throughout your life, long or short as it might have been. The lady at the
corner store was lifted up when you smiled.
The waitress at the diner made her rent because you gave her a tip the
other night. When you stopped and helped
that little boy or girl, you influenced the entirety of their life to help
others when they needed it. You’ll never
know the people in this world you have influenced or changed without even trying. Can you imagine the impact you could have on
this world if you actually took the time to try?
I love all of you reading this today. You laugh and say, “Yeah right” Let me tell you though that in this world we are to love one another as Christ loved us. I love you as my brothers and sisters in Christ, knowing that we will one day rejoice together before the throne of our King. Without knowing you I pray for you and thank God for you, that you might influence thousands and millions for His Kingdom, by following His loving grace and purpose in your life. Whatever happens from this day forward, know that you are not alone in your quest, and your purpose is being lived out with or without your awareness. For what you do not see, God does, and you know what I have incredible faith that He knows exactly how to use every single event in your life to His good. If you agree that He is omnipotent and completely sovereign than you must likewise agree that you are within His plan with or without your willing participation. The cool thing is that if you embrace His plan while giving all glory back to Him, your impact on this world will be immeasurable.

I love
those of you who have yet to come to understand the grace of God the Father
with pain and passion that you come to this understanding before the night
falls in finality on this world. I do
not know you, but the Father does, regardless of what you believe. For you see the God I serve is the embodiment
of love and cannot change. In our
scriptures it says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal
life.” (John 3:16) He did not say some,
or these people or those people, or the people in Israel, or America or the
UK. No, He said “love the world” and the last time I checked you are in the
world. Whether you love God or not – He loves
you. I thank God for you, and for the
purpose God has for you.
Be thankful my friends for the grace that has come upon you and your ability to share this grace with everyone you meet.
