A little less talk and a lot more action
1 John 3:18-20
18Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions. 19It is by our actions that we know we are living in the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before the Lord, 20even if our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
1 Peter 4:7-11
7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. 8Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
God has given me grace once again. What is he telling me? What is his will for me? That I let go. Be reckless in my love for Him. What would I do for the kingdom if I knew I could not fail? Do it! The Lord my God is with me, and it is up to me, up to us, to usher in the kingdom of heaven on earth. When we speak, we speak with power. No more fear. Each time fear threatens to enter my heart, see it as an opportunity to trust and draw close to the Father. What the enemy intends for evil will be used for much good. Praise the Lord for reconciliation and renewal! I lay everything at your feet, my King and my Savior!
