With God all things are possible

| The love of God is in us God puts His love in our hearts when we accept Jesus as our Savior, but it needs to get THROUGH us in order for it to help someone else. In Genesis 12:2 God told Abraham; " I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will being a blessing. I will bless those who bless you., and whoever curses you I will curse; and all people's on earth will be blessed THROUGH you"
When I read this scripture, that's the wayI want to dispense something good, something that will benefit them.
In 2003 as I sat in my truck, heading into doctors office for results of a biopsy, I prayed Father, what ever the results, if you will guide me, I will be a vessel for You. Yes, results were breast cancer. I was calm, I felt the presence of God, I went straight to hospital made arrangements for another surgery. I had two surgeries, 8 - 6 hr chemo, 33 radiations. By April 12, 2004 I was cancer free. I started a prayer circle on ebarrelracing.com, and every morning I post my personal daily journey with Jesus on BHW. I do church service at barrel races sharing God's Word. Yes, I have become a vessel for Jesus, and will until I take my last breath.
I want to encourage you to USE what you have to meet needs for other people. It can be called " prosperity with a purpose." What I like to call " Paying It Forward." I do not have a lot of money, time, with taking care of my elderly parents, riding 4 horses cleaning stalls feed water,and doing my own domestics goddess work laundry, cleaning house, horse trailers you know woman's work LOL.
But I when I go through a drive through once a month, I pay for person behind me, I tell cashiers HAVE A BLESSED DAY, the look on their face is priceless. Makes my heart smile, that in some small way they feel at that moment the presence of God.
You never know what God has in store when He puts something on you heart to do, even when it may not make sense to you. If He ask you to do something, DO IT! I assure you, He always knows what He is doing, so even when you don't understand, go ahead and obey.
The gut feeling you have? That is the Holy Spirit guiding you.
Develop a mindset to love people, help them, in some small way. May be just a word of encouragement, a pat on the back, a THANK you, BLESS YOU, paying for their lunch, gas, send a card , a care package, mine contain christian books, Christian music CDs, do a pay it forward baggie, inculde socks, $5 soap, water washrag, chips, fruit, give to homeless. Then purpose to spend some time each morning thinking about what you can do for someone else that day. It will make them and your and God smile.
Decide to use the blessings in your life to be a blessing to others no matter how small, every where you go. You can do this in big or small ways, JUST DO IT! You'll be amazed at the results.
Make an effort to be friendly. You don't know what the other person is going through. There are countless ways we can be a blessing if we do ALL THINGS in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS.
Will you be a blessing Dispenser, or a curse for someone today.
Our words and actions and reactions tell us where we are in our relationship with Jesus.
Galatians 6:19 Be mindful to be a blessing
1 John 3:18 Let us not love(merely) in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity),
Have a BLESSED Friday and weekend ALL!
For it is WITH God all things are possible
Father God, guide me today to do all things that will brin glory and honor to You Amen
