" ACCORDING TO OUR MEASURE OF FAITH "

Well today's thought is one were I sincerely pray that you can wrap your brain around. Once again I wish to express my fondness for your zeal to grow in the matter of your love for the things of God. Picture this you have a God who loves you so much that you have been given the option for your faith to grow. Yes, we have all been given the ability to exercise in order to grow in faith. Many of you have no problem rising early to run/jog, or making your way to the gym to get and stay fit. It's very important that we exercise our minds and our faith in God.

Have you ever thought about your "Measure Of Faith" ?
My measure of faith is probably different than yours. I have often wondered why I could believe God for something that you just might think is impossible. I also marvel at the greatness of our God, when I ponder the question of why God didn't give all of us the same level. You know what I mean an equal measurement of faith. Please understand the fact that if we don't exercise our faith it will become stagnant. we must read and study the Word of God daily, our faith grows as we put the Word of God into action. What kind of Christian are you, are you a lazy Christian with a hard time believing anything, unless a very spiritual individual gave you the thumbs up? On the other hand some can believe just because we can believe God for anything. In other words we walk in faith. God has given all of us the ability to effectively share the gospel of Jesus Christ. By sharing our personal story of how we came to know the Lord as our personal savior. You may not be an Apostle, a Pastor or even an Evangelist, but God will give you opportunities to tell others about Christ. Have no fear as He will provide the ability, courage, and power. Whenever an opportunity presents itself, make yourself available to God as his servant. Remember that he will be with you. As you focus on the individual and his or her needs, God will impart your caring attitude.

Your words will be natural, loving, and compelling. Isn't it wonderful to be able to trust God in every facet of your life. Healthy self-esteem is important because some of us think too little of ourselves; on the other hand, some of us overestimate ourselves. The key to an honest and accurate evaluation is knowing the basis of our self-worth our identity in Christ. " For thought the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a MEASURE OF FAITH" (Romans 12:3).

Until Next Time...
