Something to do today

Not sure what will happen today.  

I am sure that God knows.  I am sure that God loves people.  Jesus died for everyone.  God will be at work today.  

God will not over rule my will.  There may be things around me that are coming from the plan of God. But God will not make me adjust my will to his.

But I choose to let him lead in my life today.  With his help I might even be part of the work that God will do today.  

There is a guy sitting across from me.  He laughed when I dropped my computer.  But not in a mean way.  There is a lawyer here.  He comes here every week.  Nice guy.  Not sure of his name.  4 people at another table.  Not speaking English.  Brian and others are here to work.  

They let me come in here, buy some coffee and do a little work.  One of my favorite offices.  

Sometimes God walks right into our conversation and leads us to important things that can change lives.  

God is at work. Just not sure how I can be part of it yet.  

God gave me a job this week.  He told me he is no longer counting peoples sins against them. (I Corinthians 5:19).  I should tell people that they need to receive his free gift.

Jesus died for everyone.  Those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves.  

On Mission.

Multiply, Those who see needs and will take action

It is going to multiply.

Jesus died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves.  Instead they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.  II Corinthians 5:15

Enjoyed sitting here at Starbucks talking about needs that we are noticing around Hagerstown.  Thanks John and Steve for noticing others needs.  I learn from these guys.  

Just starting to notice people who are looking to help those who want to make a difference.  Small groups meeting this week to talk about how they will serve.  Definition = touching people the way Jesus does.  Many are looking for people that they can serve.  

If church leaders will train those who are teachable.  Those who are trained will help others to grow to become mature in Christ.  Ephesians 4:11-13.  Looking for those who want to be discipled.  Making more time for those who will help train disciple makers.  Let's get intentional about training leaders.  

So thankful to team up with people who are taking on the mission of Christ.  The Mission of the church.
