Personality Plus Power Produces Positive People

Come, sit, and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the comfort of the Lord:  "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice."  Ephesians  4:31

     "But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him"                      1 Corinthians  12:18

     God made each one of us different, so we could function in our own role.

     I learned this principle personally through the experience with my two brain - damaged sons.  Each one was beautiful to look at.  They had bright - blue eyes, blond hair, turned - up noses, dimpled chins.  They had normal arms and legs that moved, but they did not have normal brains.  They looked all right on the outside but without a brain, nothing worked.

     A lot of us are like my boys - we look all right on the outside, but without Christ as our head, nothing much is working.

     Have you ever had a friend whom you loved so much that you wanted to be with him all the time and get to know him better every day?  Has his presence lit up your life, so you felt energized, just being close?  Have you watched him so closely and followed him so much that you've almost become like him?  Jesus wants that kind of relationship with you.  He wants you to get to know Him better by reading His Words and talking to Him; He wants you to feel His power in your life so you can overcome your weakness.  He wants you so spend so much time together that you become like Him.
