Serving

Good Morning All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's great to be back in the swing of things, I've been ill for about two weeks,nothing serious.
This past weekend I finally started feeling good so I decided to do a little project that needed doing and would help others. A friend and fellow minister had the same idea so we pitched in and got the job done. This little project reminded me of a time in my life when I was blessed to take a child that had been very ill fishing. O.K. this would be to long of a story to go into, so take my word for it please, it was a blessing of a life time to take this child and her friend out in my boat! It was awesome!
We need to remember that our Master and Savior came as a servant! You see the thing is when we serve WE get a huge blessing! Why is it so hard to remember that? You think about it and I'll bet everytime you've helped someone, with the right motives, you have been blessed beyond measure. Let's take a look at what Jesus had to say:
Luke 14:12-14 12Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." (NIV)
Read verse 14a again "and you will be blessed" my friends this comes straight from the mouth of our Lord and Savior!
Meditate on these things in the days ahead and remember while lending a hand or helping out, you may end up with the greatest blessing of all!

As always I love you and the Lord surely loves you!!!!!!!!
In Him, BrianF
