TEXT: James 2:14-18
One outstanding factor
common to every individual who have made extraordinary impact in the lives of
many is love. Mother Theresa, Billy Graham, Oral Roberts and many others
touched the lives of many because they were motivated by love. What is your
motivation?
CONTEMPLATION
Buried in the heart of
every man is the desire to be recognized and celebrated but not many are
willing to pay the price for it, which is self-denial. The truth is that if you
would let the Lord express His love for others through you, you will dwell in abundant
grace, blessings and power. That you are approachable, friendly and lovely does
not make you unholy or less anointed. Many houses of worship want to rise to
prominence but only few bother to create the atmosphere that will make the
difference.
“In an atmosphere saturated with love you are
not motivated
by religious
sentiments but by intimacy with God. In an
atmosphere of
intimacy people reach out to God (in a vertical
flow) and to
man (in a horizontal flow) as they worship joyfully
and willingly.” FFPW
pg. 106.
There is more that the
Father desires to accomplish through us and sometimes the only hindrance to us
walking in this realm of glory is our unwillingness to love at all cost. Your
life can be sweeter and better if you are willing to do something about it.
PRACTICAL ISSUES
