Start the day looking in the mirror.
Nov 01, 2023It's good to start the day looking in the mirror.
- To see who God says we are.
- To see who He says we are to become.
- To see the areas that need improvement.
- To see the sin that must get worked out.
But the mirror is about self. Too much time there and you'll quickly become self-centered. Sin focused versus Jesus focused.
>> Set your eyes on Jesus, the perfecter of your faith.
Once you've got a good view of yourself, move on from the mirror to the window. You'll see others, those God will use you to reach.
Remember the great commission, to make disciples of people and nations. Ask God to use you to reach them. Then help them. This is how we multiply the Kingdom.
God gave us all gifts. Use them. God has anointed and commissioned you to bring the good news to the humble and afflicted.
Let me share a secret to reaching others. Look for people who are hungry because of pain in their lives. Then be their solution. (point them to Jesus)
When they are hungry, they are humble and eager to learn. They'll make great disciples.
Isn't that how God found us?
