People
watch what you do and remember how they feel about you, far more than
they hear what you say.

Living for Jesus is Serving Others

Live
in the Spirit, not in the flesh.
How:
Shine with the Fruits of the Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Gal 5:22
NIV).
Love
as Jesus Loved.
How:
“Love each other as I have loved you” (John 15:12 NIV). Walk as
Jesus walked (per 1 John 2:6). To do so, you must know the Jesus of
the Bible.
Pray
Daily for the World.
How:
God's love is not limited to your locale. Men severely lack faith to
affect the whole world or their own nation. But, Prayer is the
greatest Power on Earth. “Your will be done on earth as it is in
Heaven” (Matt 6:10 NIV).
Be
One with God.
How: Is
this not God's objective for us? (per John 17:21). Living Love for
God and Man is the great commands. Faith is the power. Prayer is the
means.
Carry
a Repentant Heart.
How: No
man is without sin, except Jesus. We must know who He is, the
Creator, and who we are, the creatures.
“This
is the one I esteem; he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and
trembles at my word” (Isa 66:2 NIV).
Always
Forgive.
How: As
Jesus said, “But if you do not forgive men their sins, your father
will not forgive your sins” (Matt 6:15 NIV). Men widely disregard
Jesus' warning.
Don't
take Offense.
How:
Golden Keys to Love. “It is not easily angered, it keeps no record
of wrongs” (1 Cor 13:5 NIV).
Be a
Rock of Integrity.
How:
“Till I die, I will not deny my integrity” (Job 27:5 NIV).
“Surely you desire truth in the inner parts” (Ps 51:6 NIV).
Listen
to the Heart of Others.
How:
“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak” (James 1:19
NIV). Sensitive, sacrificial listening, means to be more willing to
hear another, than yourself.
Trust
in God with all your Heart.
How:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make
your paths straight” (Prov 3:9-10 NIV).
