Sometimes We Just Live IT!

Devotions, bible studies, small groups, fellowship, outreach...there is a season for everything in our lives. Days come and go and we wake up and where did those days go. We make lists and check them off. Some of us even add items already accomplished to our lists so we can check them off to gain a sense of control, accomplishment and closure. We have appointments with doctors, teachers, grocery stores and even God! Gaining knowledge is so very important. Sharing our knowledge is even more important...well isn't it?



What was the greatest command from Jesus? Love One Another! Whoooo, not my list, not my plan, not my opinion, not my agenda, not my ministry, not my bible study, not my chores, not my children's chores...OH WOW!



Do and say everything in love. That is what the Gospel is all about. The famous "WWJD?"(what would Jesus do?) is exactly how we should live every breath we take. How about we add to WWJD? TJDI! -- Then Just do It!



There are seasons when we can immerse ourselves in knowledge and outreach. Then, there are seasons when we are in the middle of the boat in a huge storm and it takes every breath and ounce of energy to just live the gospel; live out WWJD? TJDI! show love to one another and accept the love of Christ from those who love you. Allow them to wrap their arms of Christ around you and embrace you.



It is okay to just live it! Some day we will be able to just give it...share it forward!!!



I praise God for you!



WWJD? Stop and take a picture? TJDI!
