Do I really Matter?

Sometimes we may feel insignificant; like no one see us.  You may feel like you are alone; that no one cares.  You may feel like you don't really matter to anyone at all.

You do matter.

There are times when you may feel like no one is there to give you a hug, when you need one.  Or a listening ear when you talk.   Or a shoulder to cry one when you need one.

There is someone always available.

God sees you.  He knows what is going on in your life.  He laughs with you, listens to you, cries with you, and holds you close in His hand.

On fire

Do people see Christ when they look at you?
How do you show that Christ lives within you?

Valentine's?

Should matter what day of the year it is when we show others we love them?  That God loves them?
What daily practise do you have with your words and actions?
Does it matter what the person dresses like?  Smells like?  Acts like?  Where s/he lives?  How much money, or what possession,  s/he has to give you?  How old that person is?

What are you giving out?  Judgements?  Gossip or malicious or lying words?    Love?
God loves them. 
We need to show it.

Luke 6:37
Proverbs 20:19

Do I have to?

This cartoon is appropriate for a lot of different themes.

"Do I have to LOVE that person?"
"Do I have to FORGIVE that person?"
"Do I have to FOLLOW you?"

It's our choice that can result in our unhappiness.

Cleansing

Love defined

This is what Love means.

But do we really show it?

Romans 13:8-10
1 Corinthians 13
1 Peter 1:13-16
1 Peter 2:1
2 Peter 1:5-9
Galations 5:22
Colossians 3:12-15

Restrictions

What's keeping you from showing God's love?

If you look at the links in the chain, there are different sins that hold us back from who we were meant to be.

Preaching

I wonder what the church would be like if Jesus was the pastor.

I think He would preach about love every Sunday.  He showed us how to make love our action and our reaction.  He showed us by example.  He forgave the sinner, fed the hungry, healed the sick.  Made blind men see, and lame walk.  Brought people back from the dead.  He loved his enemies, and forgave them.  He died for you and me.

He told us to love.  Matthew 5:43-48; Luke 6:27-36; John 13:34 & 35; Romans 9:-21, 13:8-10;

Perhaps we should define ourselves using 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, as Christ defined Himself.
