1 Thessalonians 2:8 8so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.
Philemon 1:6 and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.
1 Peter 3:15-16 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
Luke 12:12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”
THOUGHTS:
GOD DOESN’T NEED US …. HE GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN BRINGING ABOUT HIS WILL AND PLANS.
SOMETIMES WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE DONE UNTIL MUCH LATER.
SOMETIMES THE GREATEST LESSONS COME OUT OF OUR GREATEST FAILURES.
SOMETIMES WE HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND THE IMMEDIATE RESULTS DON’T SEEM TO BE GOOD BUT LATER WE REALIZE IT WAS.
SOMETIMES WE KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO, CHOSE TO DO THE WRONG THING BECAUSE IT SEEMS EASIER AND HAS LESS RISK AND LATER WE FIND THAT WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF HAD WE DONE WHAT WE KNEW WAS RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
