~Isaiah 58:7~

People today are so worried about themselves. Worried about #1. Making sure to keep those walls up and not let any one in or anything out. Having a harsh exterior. Not wanting to help anyone but themself.
But that is not what we are created for. We were created in His image. Christ's image. And what did Christ do here on earth? He walked with the worst of them, poor, dirty, hungry....no matter what the circumstance and how bad. Jesus was not worried about what others thought. He didn't worry about if He was going to get dirty. He didn't worry about someone stealing from Him. He did whatever it took to bless someone else.
Blessing someone does not have to be with money. Blessing someone can be spending time doing something for someone. Helping a elderly person load their groceries. Waiting as someone crossing in front of your car and being patient. Helping someone in a wheel chair get something off the top shelf in the store. Holding the door open for someone. Even just smiling at someone. These are just little ways of showing the love of Christ.
If you really want to give your time, spend time at a shelter. Help serve food. Play with the children who do not have a place to call home. Give encouraging words to a mother that feels as though she has failed. Wipe the tears off of a woman's face who had been beaten so badly to the point of almost dying.
"I want you to share your food with the hungry and to welcome poor wanderers into your homes. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. If you do these things, your salvation will come like the dawn. Yes, your healing will come quickly."
~Isaiah 58:7 NLT

I love being filled....

Tonight was such a awesome night at Church! It is amazing how God will move when you are obedient. If you just step out and dare to be different, God will be right there next to you, where you do not feel alone. Don't worry about what others think, because their thinking does not even matter! Keep your eye's on Christ and step out in obedience and worship your creator. Even if you feel like you will not fit in. When you are obedient to your calling, God will make you feel so complete and comfortable where you are! And you will no longer be scared to be different, you will want to strive to be different.
