STRUGGLING?

I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10b

Today I got the honor of being apart of a homegoing celebration of one, Sandra Holloway.  There were friends and families gathered from as far as Virginia and Louisiana, and all to celebrate the life of Aunt Sandy.

As I sat there looking around the room and listening to the condolences, psalmists, and eulogy I wondered how many people in the room were really struggling.   Struggling with life.  Struggling with loving others as themselves.   Struggling with past hurts, and forgiveness.  Struggling with the passing of Sandy.   Struggling with knowing there own purpose in life, hearing, seeing, sharing and swapping stories of the impact Sandy had on them.  

Jesus didn't struggle with His purpose, but rather people struggle with theirs. Jesus knew that beyond all the scriptural statements of him being our redeemer, our deliverer, our healer, ...........etc the quality of life with Him, is greatly improved for those who accept him as their LORD and SAVIOR!   

The speaker today said " there is no way to die and be blessed if you aren't a believer in Jesus Christ. Rather if you die without having accepted Jesus Christ, you are cursed."  Powerful words....three people appeared to answer the altar call given.  But what about you?  Are you?  Are you struggling with your purpose?  Allow me to simplify it for you based on the above scripture.....Jesus came that we might have life more abundantly.......GOD knew and desired the world to have a YOU, to improve the quality of life of all the people you would meet.

YES.....you are suppose to make an impact, and impression on the lives your life will intersect.   Those at the grocery store, those in the waiting room, those in your church, those in your family, those in your neighborhood, those on your facebook page.....you name it.   See when you are exposed to the love of Jesus, really exposed....you can't help but share that love with others, so when your days are done here......there will be a church full of people your life blessed.  I pray you are living your life in such a way you are a servant to all, reflecting the attitude of Christ.  GOD BLESS.  LGLP
