CHANGE

Good morning, Reflecting on these last few days made me think about how lives DO change when we get to know Jesus for ourselves. I look back at the Old Testament and see US as being a disobedient, hard headed and hard hearted people, but yet in still, God still loved US. Because He tried to communicate to US with kings, prophets and even destruction why is it so difficult for US as His chosen people to give of ourselves not only in service to Him, but to others. Jesus came not only as our Savior, but He was sent as a Living message of what it means to serve and love others, no matter what. Yes, I know it's difficult to love someone who's wronged US, BUT TAKE A LOOK AT WHO YOU'VE WRONGED and yet you are still loved. We need to be models of Christ, not models of SELF!!!

He was persecuted for YOU.
He was beaten for YOU.
He was chastised for YOU.
He was hung upon the cross for YOU.
His BLOOD was shed for YOU.
He gave of Himself for YOU.

How much has your life changed since you came to know Jesus for yourself?
Has someone else's life changed since you introduced them to Jesus?
Keep investing your life on God and others and see how YOU'LL change.

James
