Tonight



I love my Wednesday nights at New Community. I was tempted to skip out tonight, but God definitely wanted me there to hear an important message. I especially needed to hear 3 John 1:11... "Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God".

If I do not bless those around me (by accepting them and telling them who they are in God's eyes...and mine--how much He believes in them...and I do) it shows them I don't have my eyes on Jesus. The ONLY thing that kills relationships is PRIDE and selfishness. Everyone loves to be first. If I want to improve my relationships, I must die to myself and keep looking for Him in every conflict.

I'm grateful that He brings us back to Him.
With Love,
Angie xoxo

It seems such an obvious thing to do, but I don't do a very good job of blessing people I love with appreciation and affirmation. When it comes down to it, it is pride, which I didn't realize was the underlying problem. Thanks for the insights tonight. I hear you, loud and clear, and need to do more than lip service to this. Love, Annette

Amen sista!!! I'll be looking for him in conflict. I know he's never let me down in the past! Praise His Name. I do agree about the pride thing. I know that God has really worked on that area in my life in the past. It's an ugly thing.

In Him,
Nicole

Yes, selfishness and pride are killers. James 3:16

What is the best job I've ever had?
