You never know when someone needs a HUG, especially your waitress. She said, "You wouldn't be able to know this, but I needed that." God knew...God always know what we need when we need it.

Her boss thanked me after watching me give her a warm embrace and said, "We are are so thankful you came into today," but I was just as blessed because I yielded myself to the leading of the Spirit!

Then I was reminded of how much work there is for the church to do outside of her four walls (myself included) and if we but yield ourselves to the Spirit's leading we can really turn this world upside down!

More emptying of ourselves can lead to more of the Spirit's filling and leading to be agents of change in our communities,  nation and the world.

Its been 16 years fr...

I heard it said once that people don't evangelize because they are too concerned about their finances. Instead of concerning ourselves with our finances, we need to make our trust in God a priority. Outside of God we will never have enough or be satisfied: therefore, we ought to totally rely upon the strength of God who is our Source and promised that we would not go without lack nor seed begging for bread. I've tried God at His word. There was a time I needed $500 and God laid me on the heart of someone and said, "God laid you on my heart to be a blessing to." The "things" we spend time worrying about that would potentially take our minds off of doing the work of God, God is already working that situation out for you. You just have to trust Him and continue in the work while you wait for Him to fulfill that which He promised. Now, if you haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior then these promises do not apply to you but are available because Jes...
