Luke 12:27

Luke 12:27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you,
even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothes the
grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He
clothe you, O you of
little faith?

Have you ever stopped to really look at a lily? Gorgeous! There isn't a better way to describe it. The
flower is so perfect and beautiful in every way. There is a god, THE God, in heaven who loves you far
beyond that of the mere lilies. You were made in HIS image. If our God will adorn the flowers of the field
in such a way, then I challenge you to just believe and praise the one who will do far beyond what you
ever hoped or dreamed.

What Will You Leave

Makes you think of when you die, right? Maybe something else. This came to me several years ago when
I was filling in for the Youth Pastor at my little church. I'll be honest, I was nervous. I've generally been a
behind the scenes kind of person but the need was there. God brought this phrase to my mind. I knew He
wasn't talking about when I die necessarily but wherever I go. When I leave a restaurant, the grocery
store, my job, etc., I leave an impression or a “mark” per say. Does the cashier, waitress, coworker think
of me as a slob? Possibly a rude person? Or even better as a kind person that made someone feel special
even for a few moments. Did they see me as different? The kind of different that they want to be. The
Bible talks about being set apart. Being strong and courageous. Being BOLD in our faith and making
disciples of ALL men.
Go out and BE BOLD! Leave behind the love of Christ. Make them want what you've got.
