L.I.F.E.

Matthew 22:34-40

What will you give as you keep your focus on Him in this new year? Let me suggest the L.I.F.E acrostic:

  LABOR – God gives us a body to be used for Him. You may not be able to give a lot financially, but you can give your labor, in missions, constructions, walking your neighborhood and a lot more.

    INFLUENCE – God gives us power and position and I refer not to just important people. You might exert your influence on the person in the cubicle next to you at work.

    FINANCE – Share your financial resources. Got gives some much, some little but all enough to give.

    EXPERTISE – Each of can do something well…. very well. What is your gift….. administrative, music, second language, etc.?

Take your life’s talent, resources…… and give it all to Christ this  year. I’m not a poker player, but I understand that when a player builds of a big war chest and feels he has a good hand, he pushes his entire resources and shoves them to the center of the table and says “I’m all in.”
How about you? Are you ready and willing to push all you have into the center of your life and say to God: “I’m all in?”

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. —

We can be forgiven of our sins! That's great, but there's even better news. We can be purified of any stain from sin!! That's incredible: not only am I forgiven, I'm made clean and new again! But only because of God's grace and perfect sacrifice for our sins.

Ephesians 1:7

In Christ we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace. —

Forgiveness! What a sweet and precious gift. What we were powerless to fix, make up or pay for, God did for us in Jesus. With him, each day is a fresh start and rebirth of Springtime. But my, such a terrible cost he paid to give it to us!
