What Matters the Most

-

 



There are three things that really matters to the Lord in the above scripture. What does it mean? Well to me it means what the Lord really wants us to do for him. We cannot work our way into righteousness by doing good works!! We cannot sacrifice others for our own sin!

You see Jesus has not called us to one calling, there are various callings upon our lives, and different gifts of the Spirit in different seasons of our life.

What matters the most? What has GOD called you to do?   What does He require of You??

1.  Act Justly is the "quality" to be fair and impartial, or to behave in a way that is morally right.

2. Love mercy is the "quality" of showing empathy to other people in our lives or who we come in contact within a day's time.

3. Walk Humbly is the quality of walking in a contrite spirit, and not in pride.

In whatever the day holds for us, if we walk in these three things...they matter the most. Not in having a great worldwide ministry or huge life calling. A marriage is a calling, so is being a mom or dad.

God's gifts and calling are irrevocable. That means HE doesn't revoke your calling ever. 

God has definitely called me to be a writer.  My passion and faith are here. Yes, I have failed at many things. Doors have been opened and closed in my life sad to say. I have walked through many doors in my life to know that writing is an open door for me and I don't ever see that door closing. I give it all to Jesus, nothing and no one can take Jesus away from me...

    Hi. It’s Janis from Medium. Micah 6:8 is one of my favourite verses. You’ve presented this well.
    Hope to see you on Medium.

      I’m not sure what medium is? Is it a social media site?

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni

Someday

FiveMinuteFriday One day the time will come when we breathe our last breath and close our eyes one last time...There is nothing we can do to stop that.  It is just one fact of life we all have to deal with. Death is inevitable, it will happen we can be sure of that. We cannot avoid it. Someday that door will open, and we will close the door to this life we now live... Are you ready for that "someday?"  The fact is that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. we should at all costs live each day as if it was our last day. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that tomorrow was your last day to live on this earth, how would you do things differently or would you be content with the life you have lived up until this point?   As for me, I have always had a belief that there is a heaven and a hell.  I had a born-again experience at the age of eighteen.   It was after a very convicting church service. I had grown up in that church and was going through all the motions; but something signi

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
