God is delighted when we rejoice and give Him praise for all He has done!
Phil 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always.
Psa 18:1-3 I love You, O LORD, my strength. 2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.

wooooot! God is good, all the time!

1 John 3:14 (New American Standard Bible)

We know that we have passed out of death into life because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.

a person who is saved is a person who loves and wants to serve.

"Be available to God anytime. can He mess up your plans anytime without you becoming resentful? as a sservant, you dont get to pick when or where you will serve. being a servant means giving up th eright to control your schedule and allowing God to interrupt it whenever He needs to."

If you see a need, dont procrastinate. and dont do it to be noticed for it. Philippians 2:3-7 (NLT) 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, 24knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

Father, make me self-forgetful, faithful and humble. remind me to react like a true servant when i'm taken for granted or treated as though i'm inferior. and that i am loved and accepted by Grace so i don't feel the need to prove my worth to people. keep me from being defensive and taking the criticism of others to heart becausei do know You have it covered. Thank You for Your grace. thank You for Your patience. thank You Jesus and salvation. thank You for Holy Spirit, comfort, and Your faithfulness.

in Jesus name
amen

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (New American Standard Bible)

A Thorn in the Flesh
7Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself! 8Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness " Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties,for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

my weaknesses: short-tempered, low self-esteem, deep insecurities, impulsive, weak-willed, arrogant, vain, selfish, perfectionist, stubborn, and (yuk - hard to post) manipulative. theres probly more. Thank You Father, for my weaknesses in character that You gave me so that i depend on You more. You are God alone.
