Live For God
Read: Mark 8:31-38
To approach life as one big game that you always have to win is to live in hopeless delusion and fantasy. While material possessions, professional success, and personal victories are enjoyable, they last only for this life. Then they're all left behind.
Jesus instructed His disciples to deny themselves, identify with His cross, and follow Him in self-denial, and for some that even meant death (Mark 8:34-35). He made it clear to His disciples that artificial victories in "the game of life" don't count for much. What really counts is what's done for the Lord. Those who live for God are the real winners in life.

Amen! Thank you for this post. It's timely. Giving is truly better than receiving, but I will say that every now and then.........receiving can be pretty good.
I try not to give to the same people over and over otherwise, what's the point. There is a passage of scripture that says if we only give to those that we like, why?
God Bless,
enjoy buying flowers at the store, they don't cost alot, and take them out to the nursing home where I'm working right now, and I'll take about 4 or 5 potted ones at a time, and give them to different residents at the nursing home. It just seems to brighten their day so much, and I enjoy doing it. Some of the residents never have any visitors and I took them some flowers and it made them so happy, just something this small, can make someone feel so happy and special.
Thank you for sharing this post!
Have a wonderful Saturday Elslioness :)
