Sacrifice at Monday, September 01, 2008

I have been having this thought today and it was my prayer tonight at church. "Lord help me to take the limits off of you". I'm tired of my same relationship with God. That sounds bad, but here me out. God is a God who can do the impossible. When I lived in Houston being a children's pastor I didn't make the best money my wife and I struggled, but we paid our tithes and gave money to a missionaries. Even though I did not make a ton of money God still was blessing me everytime I turned around one guy gave me $100 dollars, another person gave me $5oo dollars. God was blessing me for sacrificing what I make and giving to advance the kingdom of God.

I want more of God in my Life and I want to take the limits off of God becuase he can do crazy stuff and I want that active in my life.

Hebrews 11:16 "Without faith it is impossible to please God"

I need to just have faith that God is going to take care of me even when I give up some of my salary to advance the kingdom of God. I guess what I am saying is that I am tired of living a comfortable life and I need to sacrifice things to try and advance the kingdom of God. It's time that I start to operate in faith in God because he will take care of his people and his children. I don't need everything that my neighbors have.

God show me the things in my life that I can sacrifice. Help me to step out of the box in my life and take off the limits from you and let you do your works. Help me to sacrifice things in my life that I don't need or that I can go without. I am not satisified with being comfortbale help me to live a life of sacrifice and faith.

Amen
