There are so many in the Church who are always complaining that God does not REQUIRE them to spend hours in prayer, or that they do not feel LED to do this or that. They are content with doing only those things that they are certain God requires of them. Only the very least that they can do without feeling guilty.
But is this the proper attitude of one who loves the Lord with ALL their heart, soul, mind and strength?
Would a truly loving wife want to do only those things that she was certain her husband has asked her to do? Or would a husband who loves his wife as he should, want to do the least he could for his wife without feeling guilty?
Is it not those soldiers who do more than they are required to do who receive the metal for bravery and heroism?
Those who risk their own lives to save others will receive the highest honor.
In Luke 17, Jesus uses the example of a servant who does only what he was commanded to do. He ends by saying, “When you have done ALL that you are commanded to do, say, ‘we are unprofitable servants. We have done that which was our duty to do”.
What kind of crown will you have on coronation day to cast down before the feet of King Jesus?
Will it be a “card-board”, Burger King crown? Or will it be something worthy of the King?
Those who get promoted and honored are those who go above and beyond the call of duty. We have the example of Paul, of Peter, of the hero’s of the faith in Hebrews 11 and of our Lord Jesus Christ!
We must never allow ourselves to be motivated by guilt or fear in our service of the King of kings. “Neither circumsision nor uncircumsision avails anything: but FAITH which WORKS by LOVE”.
When we spend much time alone with Jesus, we see His heart. We understand how intensely He desires that sinners should be saved from sin and damnation, and that backsliders should return to their first love. We become zealous and bold to bring them back to Him.
When David’s mighty-men were close enough to him to overhear him thinking out loud that he greatly desired a drink of water from the well in Bethlehem, they risked their lives to get it for him without having to be told. They did it not out of a sense of duty, but out of love for their king.
We know how great His love for us is.
How great is our love for Him?
What are we prepared to do?

cartierbraceletlove Very correct that cooking helps lower the amount of goitrogens in a food. Though I didn’t mention this seeing as my ‘agenda’ was to only present one part of the story in building a case that a particular food is bad for is.

When does obumma not lie, in his sleep. I’m not so sure of that as I’ll bet he dreams of his next lies. Don’t think the man can breath without lying.
