FOLLOW THE LEADER

If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. John 13:14-17

Want to be happy? Wash someone's feet. Whata ya know? Happiness is following Jesus' example. Knowing the truth and doing it. Alot goes into foot washing, likewise, when you stoop down and clean the dirt off someone's feet humility comes when you are willing to do what you would like done unto you. Maybe it's not a secret, but it is overlooked and ignored that those who realize this is truth and they take hold of it might consider themselves to be rich for the joy that comes in obeying the Word of God.

I know I have attended a few weddings over the years where there is symbolism used of washing each others feet. I'd like to know how those marriages are doing today. If they are remembering to wash each others feet, humble themselves, and wipe each others dirt away (forgetting what is behind and pressing ahead) daily. It is an attitude of the heart, thinking of others, and following the greatest example of love.

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.
