"Lord, what is your will for me today?
Where, What, How do you want me to use the time and resources you have provided me to better serve You?".
Keeping in mind ( in prayer ) our inability to live Godly, and to be depending ( trusting and relying upon ) His Spirit, His strength.
Each day we have opportunity to share the Love of Christ.
Each day we have opportunity to share our material goods with those less fortunate then us.
Each day we have time and opportunity to interact with others ( fellow Believers, and those who do not have the Faith ).
We can choose to spend our time and resources on ourselves ( as the world is always tell us to do ), or we can think less about ourselves and see where God would use us.
A neighbor or a stranger.
A fellow believer, or one who is still lost in the lies of the world.
We must always be mindful of our own lack of ability and seek the power of God.
We NEED to have His Word in our heart and mind.
Time spent in the Bible, and on our knees ( one of the best ways to pray ) are CRITICAL to walking in the Light.
I could start quoting all the verses, but if you are a believer, many of them are already in your heart.
And if you are a non-believer, I would "dare you" to read the Gospel of John through, and ask God to show you what is "true".
"Call upon the Name of Lord" === Trust, rely, depend, looking to for deliverance, strength, and Divine intervention.
ACT upon what you already know. Then God can show you more. And believe me there is a lot MORE.
Seek truth, and you will find it ( this is a promise from God ).
And to my fellow believers ( saved by grace through faith - not of works ), I would challenge you to share the Gospel with those around you.
Showing them love and providing for physical welfare is a good and noble thing, but please do not neglect sharing the life giving truth of the Gospel.
Give them the Message of Eternal Life.
Help them to be Born Again.
Help them become a Child of God.
Plug them into our heavenly Father.
This is what we are called to do, while not neglecting to show the kindness and love that is God.
Let your actions include speaking His Word.
Proclaim His Name ( Jesus Christ the Lord ).
Tell them that their Creator has a plan and purpose for their life.
That He has paid the penalty for their sins, and forgiveness is freely available.
The world has many "good deed doers", but so few "truth sayers".
Share the Love, but please don't be afraid to share the Word.
Don't be afraid to tell them God is real, the Bible is true, and Jesus Christ died that they might have forgiveness and eternal life.
Tell them about this great eternal life that begins the moment a person understands and trusts in Jesus Christ as their savior, their substitution, their redeemer, their God who has provide a way to restore the relationship He always had in mind.
Tell them that being "born again" as a child of God puts them in connection with the Creator of the Universe.
And that He is real, He hears, He cares, and He can be "called upon" each and every day.
And He has no limits to His ability to hear, understand, guide and comfort His children.
Acts 1:11 tells us that Jesus is returning one day - while we await His return, let’s ACT
Are you ready?

Well said!
Sometimes we tend to forget the 'real' reason we're here. If my loved one was about to do something dangerous, and you had the ability to stop them or at least inform them that what they're doing is dangerous, I would count on you to do so. I would EXPECT you to do so.. to save the person that I love.
