Grow in Christ, from milk to solid food! Hebrews 5:12-13

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
    Look around you for a moment.  What do you see on the surface and then what is really going on?  Probably controlled chaos, meaning everything looks normal, like it should be, but what is really going on - that is the main question.
    I visit with Brother A and he says all is going well, but his marriage is in rough terrain.  I ask Sister C how she is, she says well, but she is about to lose her home, children hungry.  Friend D says oh, life is great, but he just lost his job and has to go tell his family.  On the surface all looks well - but is it really.  Can you see what is beneath the surface?  Do you want to see what is beneath the surface? Will you take the time to invest in another?  Jesus did!
   What beauty do you bring to the table?  Love, compassion, mercy, caring, true concern?  This is what Jesus showed and shared.  Yesterday I mentioned the judgment seat of Christ.  Jesus talked with a prostitute, ate and slept at a despicable tax collectors house, touched and healed an unclean leper, he did many things a pharisee would not.  WHY?  L O V E !  Jesus showed love and mercy to all.  The Pharisees were too busy following the laws, making new laws and telling the people they had to follow; yet, they did as they pleased.  Hmmm, sounds like American politicians!
    So, again I ask, when you stand at the judgment seat of Christ, what will he say to YOU?  Today, step out of your comfort zone.  Speak to someone, help someone, pray for someone, do one little trait that Jesus carried.  I am not comfortable doing that - Soooo, pray quickly about it and let go-let God!

Hebrews 5:12-13 (NIV)  12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 

13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.

God wants us to grow spiritually. God did not say I would make you comfortable, he said go, tell others, share the good news! Grow in Christ. So JUST DO IT!   Have a little Nike in you. Well done, my good and faithful servant.  Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
