Throw me that life line so I can throw it to others!

  • Loving toward others (Romans 13:8)
  • Investing in significant relationships(Ecclesiastes 4:10)
  • Valuing life vs existing(Phillipians 1:20-21)
  • Expecting to grow(Hebrews 6:1)
  • Displaying Christ (2 Corinthians 2:15)

What does that spell? L.I.V.E.D! It can be very challenging. We can be selfish by nature and just think of our own needs. I'm guilty of that. But how can we move past all that selfishness? Jesus said it well in the last part of John 10:10. We can all live a better life when we come to realize that it ain't about us at all! It's about Jesus coming down to live with us and giving us a better life! The focus comes off us and goes to Jesus. Lord knows I'm not perfect, but He continues to use me. Imperfect people! That's His love for us. Look at these people.

· Joseph was abused
· Moses stuttered
· Gideon was poor
· Rahab was immoral
· Elijah was suicidal
· Jeremiah was depressed
· Thomas had lots of doubts
· Samson was insecure
· Zacchaeus was mean & unpopular
· Martha struggled to make good decisions

We all can be used to make our lives and the lives of others better than we've ever dreamed of! Theres so much to be done. I often ask myself, I'm I doing all that needs to be done? What's missing in my life that need's to be exposed to Jesus? Jesus came! He simply came. He say's I can answer all your question's if you just ask! You see I can't do it by myself. None of us can.We have to rely on Jesus and only Him. His presence in all our lives can be the start of moving past the ordinary and into a life well lived. Teenagers need to know this fact as well. More than ever! There are lies out there, but only one truth! Just like Ephesians 4:14-16 say's, Then we will no longer be babies. We will not be tossed about like a ship that the waves carry one way and then another. We will not be influenced by every new teaching we hear from people who are trying to fool us. They make plans and try any kind of trick to fool people into following the wrong path.15 No! Speaking the truth with love, we will grow up in every way into Christ, who is the head.16 The whole body depends on Christ, and all the parts of the body are joined and held together. Each part does its own work to make the whole body grow and be strong with love. Peace out!
