Every day of our lives the Lord presents us with a gift..and each of us have the same gifts to open from the Lord..and some may say that life in and of itself is our gift..but I would say that it goes much further than that..see the Lord presents each of us daily with the gifts of peace, love, joy, long suffering, gentleness, meekness, temperance, patience, goodness and faith..Galatians 5:22-23..and we all daily are given these same gifts from Jesus..but it’s up to us to open them and to get busy working on them..for how many of ya know that some gifts we receive we have to work on and put together..and sometimes there not easy these gifts that we have to work on..but after we work on them and get the, all put together they’re pretty awesome gifts that we had received..same difference with our gifts from the Lord..it’s up to us to develop them and work on them..and daily do so..for you see God knows that these gifts will help us for a much better life that we can live..for when we work as the bible says on the fruit of our spirit..we become much more like Christ..and we stand out different from the rest of the world..for we won’t do things like the rest of the world does..for the fruit of the spirit is wonderful things that we can possess…for they help us and they strengthen us in our walks with Christ..so today and everyday that follows let us all open up our gifts that Jesus has given us and let us work on them..and develop them..and mature them that they flourish into beautiful and ripened gifts..for when were shining the Lord through our lives and the way we present ourselves we can never be more of a witness for the Lord..for others recognize that there is something different about you..they’ll recognize that your not like others..and then they may just get curious as to what and why your different…which opens up the opportunity to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ..it gives you the opportunity to let others know what the Lord has done for you and how the Lord changed you and your life and at how He will do the same for them and their life..so when we work on us..we do better not only for us but as well others..and when were honest with ourselves and who we are..and we really desire to change and be more like Christ..then our lives will begin to be a blessing and it will begin to change and change in drastic measures..for God will take you places you never imagined..your life will honestly to goodness be nothing like the life you lived before..for the Lord makes all things new..and we will not remain the same after we have given our lives over to Jesus..for He renews us..and He grows us…we gain wisdom..we gain knowledge..we gain understanding..and we gain freedom..but more than that we gain a relationship with the Lord our God..and our lives take on a whole other reason and meaning for living..we do become more like Him..and that’s what sets us apart…so let us work on us guys..and let us daily do so..living our lives for the Lord..being all that He alone would have for us to be..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray, Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
