A Devotional from A new Christian

[Gerald Creasy]

A man at work has become a new Christian within the last year.

He has started doing devotionals before communion at his church (Some type of Church of Christ I think)

He always brings me in a typed version to see what I think of it (some people value my opinion, imagine that)

I was impressed a little -knowing WHERE he has come from- to becoming a Christian able to compose the following.

============================================


Some Things we get to do.

Have you ever woke up on Sunday morning and felt tired or wore out , and you think you have “ Got “ to go to church?
Or Let’s say your sitting around it’s late and you realize you haven’t “Got “ time to pray or meditate that day.
Or we go about our busy day’s and we don’t read our Bible let alone take it with us .We get the mind set that we have “Got’ to read the bible.
Or lets say the offering is going around and that we’ve “Got” to give our money to Church or to God. . Or we come into the house of God and we feel that we have “Got” to stand and sing praise and worship .
There is one little word in all that I’ve said that we must change , it would change the way we view our opportunity’s . It’s not that we’ve “ GOT “ to do anything , It’s that we “GET “ to
We “GET “ to go to church, it’s a privilege we gather with fellow believers and worship and praise our Lord and Savior.
We must realize that we “GET “ to pray to the Almighty God . Isn’t that amazing that the God who is in control of this universe , takes the time to listen to you, “pray to him . He can’t waite to communicate with us and to listen to our hearts . It’s not a chore to pray but an incredible opportunity .
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18
Pray continually, giving thanks in all circumstances for this is Gods will for you in Christ Jesus.
Mathew 4:4 (Jesus says )
Man does not live on bread alone , but ever word that comes from the mouth of God..
We should remember we get to read the holy word of God . We get to nourish our spirit , with eternal food at any time and any place we choose .
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is god breathed and is useful for teaching , rebuking correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
What ever situation you are facing , Gods word has the answer , we should always remember we “Get” the privilege to read the bible.
And we must realize that when we “ GET ‘ the opportunity to give back to our lord in many ways. Through our Love and kindness , through our offerings our Worship . Giving back to our God is a privilege , let us give all that we can .
Lets always remember , it’s not that we have “ GOT “ to go to Heaven , But that we “ “GET “ to go to heaven . But there is one thing that you can not do in Heaven , and that is sharing your faith with the lost of this world.
Brothers and Sisters there is one thing we have “ GOT” to do !!!!!!!
Share your faith with the lost until we get to heaven.
When we die it isn’t that we’ve “GOT” to go to heaven bye our selves , When we die and GET to go to Heaven , and we “ GET “to bring as many people as we want to.
We must always remember the value of others in the eyes of Almighty God. . What is a soul worth ? Gods word says .
Genesis 1:26 He made mankind in his own image and likeness.
Ever soul is of infinite value to God . How do you see your Family , friends your coworkers people you come in contact with everyday . Let use stop being wimps for Jesus . Look at what he did you , Let us be strong witnesses for our Lord and Savior . Step out of your comfort zone , and step right into Gods comfort zone . Always remember it’s not that you have “ GOT ‘ to do any thing , but that we “ GET ‘ to, For his glory and kingdom.
