Breakfast For Your Soul

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

While He yet talked to the people, behold, His mother and His brethren stood without, desiring to speak with Him. Then one said unto Him, Behold, Your and Your brethren stand without, desiring to speak with You but He answered and said unto Him that told Him, Who is My mother? And He said, Behold My mother and My brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of My Father which is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.
{Matthew 12:47-50}

Good Morning Beloved,

No Jesus did not suffer from amnesia… He knew them, but His point was about relationship.  From a spiritual standpoint, we are more connected to our brothers and sisters in the Lord, then to our flesh and blood.  Remember, we’ll be with them forever… literally… Don’t worry, won’t be no ‘mess’ in heaven… so it will be awesome, glorious, gonna blow your mind.  You’ll be really happy to see them.  It is a double blessing when our family members are also children of God.  Many people suffer needless loneliness.  They may not have any relatives.  Their people may live too far away to visit, or they are estranged from them.  God knows that there is a part of the human spirit that needs kinship.  We were not created to be little islands unto ourselves.  What did God say about Adam?  He said, “It is not good that man should be alone”  (Genesis 2:18).  God fashioned Eve from Adams’ rib, and BAM! the first couple, then came Cain and Abel and the first family was born… the prototype.  If you have a close-knit family unit that loves God and each other that is beautiful, praise God for what you have.  Recognize that not everyone enjoys that.  I pray for every person that longs for a loving family.  I pray that they see those around them, that can speak into their lives.  People who can be a ‘big Mama’, ‘Pop Pop’, sister, or brother in their lives. God is the fulfillment of our ultimate need.  However, we have a space that desires human companionship.  Remember also, that God has blessed each one of us to be a special part of someone else’s life as well. For example, a Godly person with no children, can be an ideal candidate to help the young people around them.  They can also be a true God-send to a stressed out parent.  Praise God for the many people who give of themselves on a daily basis. Great is your reward!

And that is good news!

U Blessed,

Have A Fabulous Day Family!

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.  If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.  It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.  Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

{1 Corinthians 13:1-7}

Bulldozer -Romans 1:12 69 of 99   When you are facing a mountain that seems impossible to move, you don’t have to face it alone. We have a family of brothers and sisters that can add their faith to yours, and together you can get the job done. March 2, 2008
