Ponder a Thought

W.W.J.D.

So if you were around in the early and mid 90s, you know that WWJD bracelets were a big fad, resting on the wrists of many, even if they didn't know who Jesus was. I am guilty of it, but hey, I was like 5 or 6 when I had a bracelet. Anyway, I started thinking about this a while back and I wanted to blog about it to share with you guys. Aren’t you so lucky? J

Anyway, it has been a struggle at times to get through work with a smile on my face. Sometimes its customers, sometimes its my boss. It was to the point I woulf slack off at work and determine in my mind that I was going to do my job half way, not putting any effort into doing it right or even caring if it was done wrong. Helping customers, looking for products, stockling the products, whatever I was suppose to do at the time, I wasn’t going to be my best at it. And every day, I use to catch myself staring at the clock, waiting for it to hit the time I was off.

Until one day, something (or should I say the Holy Spirit) put in my mind “What Would Jesus Do?” “Would Jesus do His job half heartedly? DID Jesus do His job half heartedly?” “Is this how you would act if Jesus was your boss?” what if Jesus was one of those secret shoppers and I treated Him like He didn't matter? When I got struck with this thought, I said “wowwwwwww.”

Now, I'm not perfect. Who is? But I try to remember that day that I heard the Lord voice say that about my attitude at work. I really ask myself “what would Jesus do? How would HE act at work? How DID He act when He was out ministering and teaching and living life?” we are to be Christ-like, and that includes at work. J

Until next time, America (…and world)

Love

nothing works effectively with out love
with your time shown, or a kiss blown or at least by a hug
squinted eyes because you dont agree with the lifestyle of others only pushes away people that may eventually turn to the very thing that will kill them, never hearing the truth or even a "i love you"
"i love you still", i love you still is not a cop out, a cover up statement, no its not make up for the skin, but whether a way for people to see you see past their sin, you love them with a love deep within, a love that you have to experience in order to give, not a surface, simple facebook status or a tweet, but something that will make you get down on one knee, something that will make you give up everything just to see the other person happy, unconditional, non pacifying, agape guided LOVE
love is no simple four letter word, but something that is better expressed thru actions rather than words, love is no simple four letter word, because its counterpart has similar similarities, its opposite is hate, another four letter word, a word that is also shown better by actions better that word, and as a people that claim to proclaim the love of God, we have a responsibility to fulfill, Christ's very commandment was to love God and love others as your own, and i ask you would you talk to yourself the way you talk to other people on a daily? would you want someone to talk to your mother the way you talk to others on a daily? or your grandmother? your children, your spouse? your God? no!
love, is a powerful thing, it was shown most powerful by the death of a King, by the death of a King that bore the sins of others, took on the wrongness of others, took on the addictions of others, took on the sin of others, took on the greed of others. and the others weren't even all his friends, but even the ones who screamed "crucify Him!!!"
love, its not something hard to do, it should not feel like a burden, its something we are called to do, something that we were shown to do
i say this not to say to dont expose sin, i say this to do it appropriately. weve been told there is a time for everything, and they way love is SHOWN is no different. you dont beat a 1 year old because he put his hand on the stove, you would guide in him in the way that he should go. well my friends, we must understand that we were once all babes in the faith, not even in the faith and needed someone to guide us on our way, and still need the guidance, and non believers are no different, people who have slipped are no different, people who dont understand how serious "i die daily to my flesh" is, that dont know how serious "the wages of sin IS death" and "theres no gangsta paradise" and "there is a Hell and many people go there" is.
what is love? love is patient, kind, long suffering, hopes all things, believes all things, bares all things, so if you do not practice these qualities then you have a false pretending self proclaimed idea of love that is essentially called self love and its a deadly poison. people wont want to hear you unless they trust you. trust that you wont judge them, trust that they can confide, trust that you will help them if need be, but they cant see it if your yelling and finding flaws....

Pakistan-Christian Persecution-News- World


From: http://www.compassdirect.org

WAZIRABAD, Pakistan, June 21 (CDN) — An 11-year-old Christian boy here is growing weak and ill from malnutrition from working in slave-like conditions for a Muslim landowner who kidnapped him and is forcing him to work off his family’s debts, his mother told Compass.

Katherine Bibi said landowner Ashraf Cheema of Dhonikay village, Wazirabad, has offered her son better conditions and possibly cancellation of the debt if he will convert to Islam.

“He is frequently invited to convert to Islam by Ashraf Cheema, and in return he is promised that he will be freed from the iron chains and his work will be eased and he will be served better meals,” she said. “Cheema has said, ‘The debt of your father and brother might also be forgiven if you convert.’”
