To Whom Much is Given....

 

 

 

From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

Luke 12:48

 

When you think about your life...what thoughts run through your mind?

Do you consider yourself blessed or cursed?

 

I consider myself extremely blessed.

Even if I hadn't been born in a country that was free, or to a family where I was adored, or with advantages I would still consider myself blessed - because I know Jesus.

 

Everything else - my job, my family, my education...even my country would be nothing if I didn't have Jesus.

 

But knowing Jesus - being in a relationship requires constant attention.

Attention to my relationship with him as well as attention to the incremental blessings he has given to me.

 

Recently, I heard someone say that the blessings in my life weren't just for me but they were for everyone I encounter.

 

I consider the blessing of my relationship with Jesus - as well as the other multitude of blessings -  to be a blessing to share.

 

Each day I wake up, I have the privilege and responsibility of representing Jesus to the world around me. How I share him and his blessings often is how those around me perceive Jesus - right or wrong my relationship with Jesus is a bridge to help others find a relationship with him.

 

Some days, when I think about the duty of sharing Jesus with others I get all tangled up inside:

What if I say the wrong thing?

What if I snap at someone?

What if someone I talk to doesn't like my hair - and then doesn't like Jesus?

I know...a little crazy - but honest.

 

I take the responsibility of sharing the love of Jesus very seriously...

To Whom Much Has Been Given - Much is Required.

 

I have been given much - I have been give the eternal love of a Savior.

And I am motivated to share that love with everyone I meet so that all of those someones might be given the same gift - and mission.

 

You have been given much....what will you do with it?

The World's Most Powerful Sentence

I love you.

Three very powerful words which hold more weight than nearly any other combinations of words in the English language. I love you is bigger than the emotion you feel towards a favorite object or a subject in school.I love you transcends merely words spoken from one person to another, but implies true heartfelt emotion which is deeper than the simple passion between two people. 

Saying I love you translates to:

I love who you are...

I trust what you say...

I know you...

I will follow you...



I love you is a gift given from God to each of us to share in His grace, His mercy and His peace. The ability to love and feel emotions beyond what words can convey is something which only God can create and offer. When we say I love you, we are sharing the love God has for each of us with another.

 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

 2 John 1:4-6

Loving is more than simply saying three words. Loving is displaying grace to all of those around you. Loving others is walking in obedience to God's command on our lives.

Saying I love you is whispering a love letter from God.

I Love You...

Three little words which can transform the world.

2 John 1
