You are killing me, but you have a right to. Never have I seen a greater, or more beautiful, or a calmer or more noble thing than you. Come on and kill me. I do not care who kills who.

I have only known to throw myself to destruction in love, not in anyway lesser than that. Perhaps as a child I've seen way too much how a moth jumps and throws itself into the fire - the attraction is real, the self annihilation is simply impending...

Jesus is Superior to Abraham

48 “How right we are,” retorted the Jews, “in calling you a Samaritan, and mad at that!”

49-51 “No,” replied Jesus, “I am not mad. I am honouring my Father and you are trying to dishonour me. But I am not concerned with my own glory: there is one whose concern it is, and he is the true judge. Believe me when I tell you that if anybody accepts my words, he will never see death at all.”

52-53 “Now we know that you’re mad,” replied the Jews. “Why, Abraham died and the prophets, too, and yet you say, ‘If a man accepts my words, he will never experience death!’ Are you greater than our father, Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets—who are you making yourself out to be?”

54-56 “If I were trying to glorify myself,” returned Jesus, “such glory would be worthless. But it is my Father who glorifies me, the very one whom you say is your God—though you have never known him. But I know him, and if I said I did not know him, I should be as much a liar as you are! But I do know him and I am faithful to what he says. As for your father, Abraham, his great joy was that he would see my coming. Now he has seen it and he is overjoyed.”

57 “Look,” said the Jews to him, “you are not fifty yet, and has Abraham seen you?”

58 “I tell you in solemn truth,” returned Jesus, “before there was an Abraham, I AM!”

59 At this, they picked up stones to hurl at him, but Jesus disappeared and made his way out of the Temple. — John 8:48-59 | J.B.

Entirely Different Breed

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38KJV

Have you seen the viral videos of people giving money to the homeless and other people? Their filming crew randomly selects people to give money to. A homeless man wins $1000 from a lottery ticket given to him. His first reaction was trying to share with others, then weeping. The deserving waitress gave of herself to customers. Same film crew orchestrated a $1000 tip, trip to Hawaii, and a new car. Her joy was boundless. South African videos are mimicking this but giving food, shelter, and medical care.

Jesus told us: “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you…” Matthew 7:12NLT When I was around thirteen years old, Mom and Dad were trying to buy Grandma’s house. Grandma’s will left each child an equal part of the house. Trouble was: Dad had been crippled in an accident and had no income. Mom’s ability to earn was very limited because of his 24 hour care. Two aunts and one uncle kicked back their inheritance to my parents. They all prospered because of their gifts.

William Buffet has been quoted as saying, ‘the more money I give into others needs, the greater my income increases. Former entrepreneur, Mary Crowley wore a necklace with two shovels on it. One was tiny, pinky fingernail sized. The other was about an inch. She’d tell people, ‘The small shovel represents what I give into others’ needs. God’s shovels back what I give with His bigger shovel.’

Kenneth Copeland tells of a great need he had before becoming a big preacher. He found someone with a need and gave to help them in their need. In return, God sent someone along to provide for his need with a little extra besides.

Once, I gave a prayer request for someone unemployed, unemployment income run out, dead broke and needing help to save their vehicle. A total stranger came to me a few minutes later and handed me a large denomination bill sowing into the needs of the other person. I saw the little shovel in action. Later, I heard about the big shovel event in the life of a once stranger’s life.

Everywhere people are barely surviving. Houses foreclosed. Vehicles repossessed. Inflation has gone wild. God is looking for shovelers.

“…Whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?” 1John 3:17NASB God takes seriously how His people use what He gives them. Much of the Old Testament regarded Israel’s failure to care for their poor, widows and orphans.

James instructs: “Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves…a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” James 1:22,25KJV. If we hear the Lord's word to be a giver and don’t give, we’re deceiving ourselves.

“Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.” Proverbs 28:8NIV For years I’ve heard about a transfer of wealth coming from the ungodly to the qualified people of God. Who’s qualified? Those who will funnel this transfer of wealth to where needs are. It won’t be the wealthy. It will be the givers. They’re an entirely different breed of Christians, ones God can trust. What are you? It’s your choice. You choose.

PRAYER: Father help us to become trustworthy givers that shovels wherever they’re told, in the name of Jesus Christ’s I pray.

God’s lowest thought about you is higher than your greatest thought about yourself.

God is more committed to your destiny than he is to your desires.

Running on Water - Greater Flamingo by Georgie Alexon Via Flickr: I was happy to see this Greater Flamingo come running across the lake towards me as he took off in flight. To take off, flamingos first start by running and will stretch their necks out. Shortly after this, they begin to flap their wings vigorously and eventually lift into the air. This take-off procedure is similar to that of a plane, where they build up enough momentum to be able to take off. This photo was taken in the south of France. -Phoenicopterus roseus

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Today is a day where we should be grateful. We should be thankful for the life we have, for the lives we’ve lost, and the new lives that shall be welcomed to this world.

Of course life can be unfair, though. It’s not all “cupcakes and rainbows”, and that’s just how it is, and basically how it has to be. You can’t live life without tragedy. Some of you know that better than anyone. It can be devastating to see a good thing end, but sometimes it’s for the better.

A book I love to hate (if that makes sense) is called “A Child Called: It”. It’s an autobiography about a boy named Dave Pelzer. His childhood was… traumatizing and heartbreaking. And so very cruel.

I cried. A lot.

His mother, Catherine Pelzer tortured him in various ways since he was four years old. His life was one of the most tragic lives I’ve ever heard of.

Here is that story: (READ AT YOUR OWN RISK) There is cursing, and MANY forms of abuse.

Sometimes, that’s just how it is…

Moving on, you’ll never know when someone will die. Maybe your family fell apart, and no one wants to talk to one another. Maybe it’s a divorce. Or an argument. Or someone said the wrong thing at the wrong time.

They refuse to communicate. They want to get out of each other’s lives. They hate each other so much. Their hate is so powerful- they forget what the fight even was…

Then… someone dies. No apology. No goodbye.

Then they realize it’s far too late to fix anything.

Another story isn’t even mine, it’s my teachers’. Two of them. Different funerals. Different deaths. Different reasons. But both deaths were of no other than teenagers.

Barely adults. They never even got to be adults. They just… died.

One of their deaths was caused by carelessness. A sleepy driver in an 18 wheeler crashed into the girl’s car, split the car in half and she ended up flying out and getting impaled by a tree branch right in the stomach.

Overall, just be careful on what choices you make. Specifically on how you treat people. It can make a major difference in their lives. For the better, or for the worst. But then again, it’s your life and how you choose to live it.

So here’s a project you can complete for today:

Go to Google slides and make at least 2-5 slides about why you’re grateful for someone and send it to them.

Or write a letter. Or call someone.

You can really make a positive impact on someone’s day today.

Because you never know when it will be the last time you’ll see them.
