Fit Bit (Faithful)
Hebrews 12:11 “Now no chastening for the present
seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness
unto them which are exercised thereby…14Follow peace with all men and holiness,
without which no man shall see the Lord:”
James 1:27
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit
the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted
from the world.”
WOW these two passages are really hitting me this
Advent morning. I am preparing for
Christmas by decorating my home, visiting with friends and family and hopefully
baking, shopping and giving. Giving,
this is the thing that is upon my heart the most today. Financially this year is a bit tight for me.
On the other hand, I have more time then I usually have. Hopefully I can give of my time and be
Faithful. Personally, I have issues that
are consuming my thoughts and I don’t “feel” like I can get much done. Hebrews 12:11 reminds me that the sufferings
of this present time is nothing compared to the joy that awaits me. James 1:27 reminds me that true happiness and
joy is fulfilled when I love others as Christ loves me. Therefore today and hopefully each day I will
stop thinking of what is difficult and concentrate on being His hands and
feet. I may not have the finances to
bless others the way I want to, but I do have the ability to intentionally take
the time to be nice to someone, even a stranger. I hope this short insight helps you be encouraged
to be faithful this Christmas with what you have.
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
PS “One thing that we do have is the knowledge of
Jesus, how cool Christmas is that we can most easily share His this GOOD
NEWS!!”
