represent!!

well yesss... here i am again! already another post! i wanted to post a poem, but i left it at home, so maybe another time. But only when the time is right...
Next sermon (hee hee)
"You have your Savior on the cross
While you sit on the throne
Put yourself up on that cross
And put your Savior on the throne"
Todays message is about dying to self and embracing our mission. I've been having a lot of trouble lately with my quiet times with God, but i find that when i am faithful, and earnest God does really meet me, and touch my day in a really cool way! Go God! lol! Sometimes we dont want to go to church. Sometimes we dont want to pray about a problem - we'd rather whinge, sometimes we dont want to have a daily time with God - cos we're too busy, sometimes we dont want to talk to that lonely person - they might be weird.
But life's not about what we do and dont want to do. Its about choosing the best way to represent God. We have to put our flesh to death, and start living for Jesus. We've gotta get our hearts in the correct place, and do what we think God wants us to do.
Hebrews 13v2
"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some have entertained angels unawares.”
I believe we have to ask God what he wants us to do, what is his calling on our lives, where does he want us to go in the future, and what does he want us to do in the meantime.
And most importantly, we have to start living wholeheartedly for Jesus, following the word of the bible. When the King is at the Centre of our lives, our lives will show evidence of this =) When we start denying the things that are not of God a place in our life, we will begin to grow. When we put the mission of God as first place, we will begin to sprout (yay). Its all good to water and nourish the seed, but if it never yields a harvest, what good is it? If a harvest shows evidence of the farmer, what a proud farmer he will be =)
