8th May 2012 - I was recently in a poor developing country where they have motor bike taxis, which pull a carriage. A young man asked me in the evening if I needed a taxi. I said, "maybe tomorrow at noon", as I was moving 6km away. The next morning at 8am the man saw me, and ran to me, and asked if I needed the taxi. I said, "maybe later at noon". He asked if I would use his service. I asked him how much. He became a little nervous and unsure and said $4 (which was the top end going rate). I knew I could bargain him down to $3 or $3.50, but I felt the love of God well up in me for this young man (Romans 5:5). I didn't have the heart to bargain his price down, it would not have been love. He needed that extra $0.50 or $1 much more than me. I could have achieved a lower price for his services, but the love of God said, "lift him up, encourage him, and bless him." Always be sensitive to the leading of God's love, it makes the world a better place. In His grace, Andrew

You must be born again !
To enter into God's eternal
Kingdom every human being
needs to be born again.
God has provided everything we
need to make us holy and
acceptable, to have an eternal
relationship with God through
Jesus Christ. All we have to do
is exercise faith and give
permission, or authorize, our
becoming born again. We must
believe two things and do one
thing to secure our eternal
destiny.more. |
