True Love & Sacrifice

7/28/2013

This morning I read the following....

"Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God’s love in me), I gain nothing."
I Corinthians 13:3

No matter what I sacrifice--if I don't have God's love in me, it's worthless to me. It's also worthless to God because my motivations are not honoring to Him. A true martyr is one who gives up everything for Christ out of a pure heart full of love for Him.

Oh, that my heart would burn for Him each moment of each and every day....

"What in the world will you be doing in Kwidzyn?"

We are planning to go to Kwidzyn, Poland for 8 months to "ministry-sit" for some friends. What does this mean? Their ministry is young and we'll keep things rolling by...

Helping with preaching/teaching with their house church
Sharing Christ's love through evenings spent with the youth of the church and their friends
Speaking conversational English with those who don't yet know Christ
Studying the Bible with fellow believers who wish to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ
Whatever else God throws our way!

Hanging on for dear life or letting go?

By nature, I think most of us don't like falling. My littlest man is 18 months old and because of his size and speed still falls regularly. Presumably because he's so close to the ground, it's easier for him to bounce back up and keep going....I personally don't bounce very well and I'm grateful that the plum picking pictured here didn't result in a fall from the top of the ladder....
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good [more satisfying] reward for their labor; For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!"
At this point in my life, I feel like I'm falling...and it's a good fall into faith, because I know that the Arms that will catch me are attached to the same Hands that knit me together in secret....Is there a better place to be? So, really, I don't need to hang on to this life...I need to fall into His will....
