Inspire Me Monday - Week Thirteen
Good Morning!I had a wonderful birthday weekend. And my daughter asked if she could write today's post. I thought that would be a great present: some extra free time on Sunday. Little did I know she wanted to post her Bible homework from school. I got more than just a free night. I got a chance to see into the heart of my little girl and see how Jesus is working in her! What a gift!So here is her post: Hi My Mom's Friends!In school, I had to write a paper on a verse. I hope this inspires you today.Matthew 10:32 says that, "Everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven."I think that this verse means I can't be ashamed of what I believe in.We only have one life to live and we need to have every thing we do point to the one who created us and the whole world.The reason we are here is to praise Jesus with our whole lives and everything we have. In the verse it says, "Whoever acknowledges me before men." This means we need to be bold and not be afraid to share our faith and trust we have in Jesus with others. He came to Earth and died on a cross for our sins.Even if we were the only person in the world he would have still died because he loves us that much! When the verse says, "I will also acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven," I think this means when we get to heaven if we lived our lives for the one who died for us, he will stand before God on judgement day and say, "She's mine and I love her."He will turn to us and say, "Well done good and faithful servant." In the end the only thing that really matters is what Jesus thinks of us - no one else. Have a great Monday,Leah So that is it! That is her heart - her love for Jesus and the gospel for all of us rolled up in one! And wouldn't you know it...what God is teaching me, he uses my little girl to remind me it once again. I have to stop comparing and wishing for the praises of the crowds, the "in group", my family...I just need to live for Him.Thank you for allowing me to share her words!
