Winning, and the humility in the victory

Okay, so yesterday I was feeling like a loser because I feel like the plague of locusts was upon me. Today I feel rotten because I have a migraine in the making. Unfortunately, I could be negative about all kinds of things, but I just can't go there! Now, let me stop because it gets better. An early morning phone call yielded some very wonderful news, and I hope she doesn't mind my sharing of this news...

My sister accepted Christ as her Savior and has been studying His Word and making changes in her life!!!

That, my friends, always takes precedence over anything. When someone accepts the Lord, only good things can come of it. Though I am not, nor would I ever "take credit" for this change, I can tell you that it has been a prayer of mine for a long time. She thanked me, but I quickly gave God the credit for simply using me as His instrument.

That's really all we are! We are His instruments, not miracle makers. We can pray, but we can't change anything. Only God can, and His grace is our reminder to be humble in His sight, and know we belong to Him.

If you're still praying for salvation for someone you love, don't give up!! I have a list of those I pray for just for salvation alone. It's almost as big as my list for healing. It's worth it, and knowing my sister loves Jesus gives me such joy, peace, and hope!

No matter what happens today, I will be praising God for it. He has a way of reminding me that sometimes my eyes focus on the small, and miss the "big" altogether. I'm already feeling my headache beginning to ease up, and I have a lot on my plate today. Somehow, I think it will work out just fine.

Ble blessed, and keep your eyes up top!!

Words Matter. Choose them carefully.

A Character that Reveals

  When you love your enemies,  you reveal what kind of God  our God is.  I was thinking today about how stubborn we are as people sometimes....
