Faith Words: I Love You

It is important that I tell you that I love you.  I think you know it but I feel compelled to tell you again: I love you. You're an important part of my life. Take some time, make an opportunity to tell those in your life that they matter - that you love them. Even if you know they know, you don't know how much they need to hear it. I love you. Patrice 1 John 4:7a (NIV) Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.

Faith Words: Today is a Jesus Day

A business associate of John's recently passed away from complications of Parkinson's.  He had battled bravely for years.  As he faced his physically mortality, he embraced his spiritually immortality.  Realizing that his time here was short, he decided to make every moment count and he started greeting people with:  "Today is a Jesus Day!" Today IS a Jesus Day!  I'm here today to show Jesus to the world.  Who will I encounter?  Will they see Jesus in me? If I think only about what I need to do today and only about what I can get out of today, they'll only see me.  We talked about this in class Wednesday night.  I have a choice:  me first or Jesus first.  Which will it be?  Every decision I make will reflect that choice. Will I make today a Jesus Day? Patrice Colossians 1:27 (NIV) To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
