God’s Word to You is
2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
1 Corinthians 9:19-23
Paul’s Use of His Freedom
19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
Today marks 1/12th of our year as gone. Funny to think about it like that, huh?
It’s all perspective. Actually everything is. Who God is to different people, who you are to different people is a matter of perspective.
To some I am a Christ follower, a gentleman, funny, loving and knowledgeable.
To some I am one of those fools who follow that Jesus guy, prejudice, a fool, sarcastic and maybe boring.
To some I am brother or father or Pops or husband or in-law and at one time, son.
Each of you can be seen in similar ways.
Crazy to think of us that way, huh?
Here’s the point. Only two perspectives are controlled by our own power.
Ours and His.
My outlook for myself is simple. I’m not the man I want to be but thank God I’m not the man I used to be. I’ve stopped trying to be good. I just seek to be His so that others may be drawn to Him thru me.
What’s your’s?
me n’ God love ya
