A Daily Prayer

Become A Loving Sacrifice Part 5

Romans 12:14-16

The Living Bible

“If someone mistreats you because you are a Christian, don’t curse him; pray that God will bless him. When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow. Work happily together. Don’t try to act big. Don’t try to get into the good graces of important people, but enjoy the company of ordinary folks. And don’t think you know it all!”

This is a hard lesson to learn, and yes, I have had to learn to act like Jesus would, and yes, I do struggle at times still. We all do.

GOD IS PURE LOVE AND SO IS JESUS! Not the type of love the world offers, but as the Creator of the Universe.

Remember, that God’s plan for us is higher than ours, His ways are higher than ours, and His thoughts are higher than ours. Trust HIM, He knows what is best for us! His love for us knows no ends, but He expects, yes, demands, that we love one another, even those who do not believe.

When you are being mistreated for being a Christian, think of all the rewards awaiting you in Heaven. Think of what the apostles went through, most died for spreading the Good Word and yet, they were happy to do it! Remember that You are Working for Our Lord Jesus so that None Should Perish!

God commands US to LOVE ONE ANOTHER, no matter if they are followers or not. We are His, we belong to Him and We have to be like Him in all that we do. But, do not be like the world, don’t follow their ways. Rather, be like God, mirror Jesus. Show the world the Face, the Love, and Good Deeds of Jesus who LOVES. Share His Compassion, His Salvation, and His Love to others!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit! I thank you for all that you’re doing! These are not my works or words! They are Yours that You ask of me to speak and do!

Help me to be a vessel that is Holy, clean, and emptied of me, myself and my ways, thoughts and actions. Come and clean this vessel who wants just to serve You! Fill me with Your love, compassion, good deeds, and good works!

Crucify my old heart daily, gently nudge and remind me that You are the Lord of my heart and that I am Yours! Take my heart and gently reshape it to Your will! Lord, all I have is Yours. You put Your words, Your Actions, Your Love and Your salvation message inside me so that I can Bless Others!

AMEN!
