Today is a Brand New Day!

Good morning Friend, Morning! How are you? It is Wednesday and we are in the middle of the week! What if now in the middle of the week I share with you that we are saints? Saints comes from the Greek word hagios, which means consecrated to God, holy, sacred, pious. It is a group of people set apart for the Lord and His kingdom Perhaps you already knew. For those who don't. When we accept Christ we go through the process of sanctification or purification and we bear fruit of our conversion. We respond to our call and we flourish doing what God called us to do. Many times this is hard to figure out. This process can take years before we get there. Do we become perfect? No, sorry to burst the bubble. But, we do mature and we reach a more mature approach to anything we do. We are the saints and our mentors are the ones pouring and equip us to get out in the world and share the word of God. We learn to take small steps until we walk the talk entirely. You don't have to go far, you can start sharing Jesus with family and friends and co-workers. What I like about this picture is that I can read it or you can read it and at one point we were either the saint or the sinner. But we must love on one another because if there is a sinner, then we must pray for the future and if we have a saint, we must pray that they grow. Never give up on someone who is not there yet. God has the perfect timing in all things and it all works for His glory. Its a matter of Perspective... Ephesians 4:11-16 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.Have a blessed day!
God bless you, Julieta Reyes Flores |
