APPRECIATE

A Quote from church

When people say that they are O.K. without God, the reality is they have never experienced a life without God. He holds all of us together. He allows the sun to shine on both believers and nonbelievers. 

Reflection

I’ve been reflecting a lot on my walk with God & seeing where my hearts desire lie. 

Sometimes I think about the way I live my life, and imagine that if any ordinary person watched a movie about me (which lasts only about a week), would they know that I live a life surrendered to Christ?

Do they see me, the way that I see Christ? Selfless? Humble? 

Do I even live a life that is 50% for Christ?

I can think all that I want & believe all that I can, BUT when my actions show that i’m just another person trying to get through another day, doesn’t show that I have completely accepted that God is my heavenly father.

I’m adopted. I need to be a 100% renewed. NEW identity. 

Tis hard. But what a humbling thing He has been teaching me.

We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we’re aproaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter:
‘Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended’ They pay for their order, take the two and leave.

I ask my friend: “What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?”
My friend: “Wait for it and you will see.”

Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four ‘suspended’. While I still wonder what’s the deal with those ‘suspended’ coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square infront of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in throught the door and kindly asks
‘Do you have a suspended coffee ?’

It’s simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm bevarage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwitch or a whole meal.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have such cafés or even grocery stores in every town where the less fortunate will find hope and support ? If you own a business why don’t you offer it to your clients… I am sure many of them will like it.

I had an urge to read act 9:31 today.

It talks about how the church prospers.

“Then the chuches throughout all of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplie.”

Do we fear the lord? 

Do we find comfort in the Holy Spirit?
