This morning at 6:15am..... yep, 6:15am...
Our men's group got together as we do EVERY Monday morning. Pastor Paul lead us through a really awesome passage with gut wrenching application.
Here, read this from Philippians 2 in The Message,
"If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand." (Emphasis mine.)
Wow!!! Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead... Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand...
Who do YOU know that truly reflects the light of Jesus like that... all the time? Not just when others are looking. Does someone come to mind right away? Or do you have to think about it a while?
I immediately thought of Frank Delisle as I usually do when ever I think of the reflection of Christ. I was blessed by God to have Frank as a true mentor and light at my feet for 6 years. He led me to The Lord because I saw a bright path in front of him in all he did. His life truly is joyFULL.
