Burning With Love
Often we are preoccupied with the question "How can we be witnesses in the Name of Jesus? What are we supposed to say or do to make people accept the love that God offers them?"
These questions are expressions more of our fear than of our love. Jesus shows us the way of being witnesses. He was so full of God's love, so connected with God's will, so burning with zeal for God's Kingdom, that he couldn't do other than witness. Wherever he went and whomever he met, a power went out from him that healed everyone who touched him. (See Luke 6:19.)
If we want to be witnesses like Jesus, our only concern should be to be as alive with the love of God as Jesus was.
I believe no matter what...the CHURCH is the hope of the world...connected believers / followers of Jesus Christ.....this weekend there is a Leadership Conference and I would ask that we all pray for those leaders to be soft to the Holy Spirits leadings as they experience this together.....that they come back to their churches with whatever THEIR church needs to reach and serve more people....

Oh that we would make more of the Lord and His Bride. She can be a strong and powerful woman...His body..Him in the earth...but so often she is a boney infantile skeleton like Bek describes at darlingwarhorse.blogspot.com
Would that She would rise up and be Who She was meant to be!
Great quote. Thanks for sharing.
I'm praying for D.
