What kind of egg are you????

Good morning everyone!! A great day to be alive in JESUS!!! Running a little late, went to bed late and slept in this morning (did not get up at 5 a.m.) Isn't God grand!! God does so much for us!!! Yesterday at church our guest speaker Dr. Miles McCall was great!! Topic was Life is a Crisis!
How true this is. Have you ever thought what kind of egg you are?? Have you ever just thought about an egg??? What a perfect packaging that is given us by "nature." Huh, no, no coincidence, God had these things planned. Ever been to an egg toss and one will miss their egg and it, what, hit the ground and didn't break! WOW!!! Some eggs are cracked, some are broken, but some are perfect!! That is what Jesus wants us to be... perfect!!!!
Matthew 5:48 Jesus says, "But you are to be perfecet, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." Wait, you say....only Jesus was perfect, so how can I be perfect?? 1. In Character: In this life we cannot be flawless, but we canset our goals to be as much like Christ as possible.
2. In holiness: as the Pharisees, we are to separate ourselves from the world's sinful values, and be devoted to God's desirees.
3.In maturity: we will not obtain Christlike character and holy living all at once, but we must grow toward maturity and wholeness.
4. In Love: we can seek to love others as completely as God loves us.
You, me, everyone, Christ calls us to excell, to rise above the middle, and to become mature Christians, striving to be like HIM. Those who do, will one day be perfect, even as Christ is perfect. (I John 3:2,3)
What kind of egg are you? You have the perfect packaging as does the egg.... so will you hit the ground and bounce or will you bust? Pray for oneanother and pray for yourself. Thank you for reading, love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
