My eyes have been opened this week to what humbling yourself and serving others really means. Alot of times our idea of helping someone in need is to hand them some money, or send a check in the mail, which in some cases is a good thing! But there are also times when people may need us emotionally, spiritually, or to physically get down in the trenches with them!
(Thanks mom:)

God tells us not to just love one another, but to love them more and more! ( 1 Thess 4:10)

I've recently had the opportunity to get down in the trenches with some people.... I'm not saying it's easy.....that you won't become emotionally drained, or physically worn out! But, I do know that if God asks you to do something, He will supply you with all the energy and strength you will need to complete it! Our God is an Awesome God!

I want to encourage you to keep your eyes open and to be ready for the opportunity to get down in the trenches with somebody. To really love on them...more and more and to show them the love of God!

Love ya'll! Strive to be Different!

"Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions."
(1 John 3:18)

"Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days. Don's act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do." (Eph 5:17)

"Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay." (1 peter 4:8)
