Wastefulness And Missed Opportunities

As I woke up this morning and went through my routine, I began to think about all the opportunities I took advantage of in 2014. I may have even surpassed my own understanding in regards to doing things that I wouldn't normally do for an opportunity to change someone else’s perspective on Faith, people, or their circumstance. You see I am a realist. I do not allow people’s personas to impress me or alter my perspective of them based off of shallow entities. I simply use the opportunity to Glorify GOD to impregnate them with his DNA.

My goal is turn water into wine. You see water is without substance in regards to color, taste and smell. It has a natural benefit to us which is to keep our bodies hydrated as well as, remove toxins from it. However, many people don’t like drinking water plain, regardless, if they need to. So, some use water enhancers to receive the health benefits of drinking it. If you look at your life as water its plain and without substance, but if you add a little bit of Jesus, your life has more depth and structure.

Friends,
2015 is about using every opportunity that we can as the Body of Christ to Glorify GOD to others in grace and wisdom.  We have to stop being wasteful in our giving and begin to operate in FAITH, not flesh.  This is why so many are run down or burnt out, because they are not extending themselves genuinely or directed by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said,
28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”- Matthew  11 Msg Bible

I Encourage you to take every opportunity to share the LORD in truth. Do not twist things because you are still indulging in a sinful lifestyle. Give others the WORD/Water that enables them to be filled and without need, and maybe you too will start to drink and be full of GOD’s righteousness.

John 4 Msg Bible
7-8 A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, “Would you give me a drink of water?” (His disciples had gone to the village to buy food for lunch.)  9 The Samaritan woman, taken aback, asked, “How come you, a Jew, are asking me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?” (Jews in those days wouldn’t be caught dead talking to Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered, “If you knew the generosity of God and who I am, you would be asking me for a drink, and I would give you fresh, living water.” 11-12 The woman said, “Sir, you don’t even have a bucket to draw with, and this well is deep. So how are you going to get this ‘living water’? Are you a better man than our ancestor Jacob, who dug this well and drank from it, he and his sons and livestock, and passed it down to us?” 13-14 Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.” 15 The woman said, “Sir, give me this water so I won’t ever get thirsty, won’t ever have to come back to this well again!

Friends,
We must lead people to the water in truth, even if we have to address their sin so they can drink without cross contamination.
