Lessons Learned - Lk. 18:6, 29-30

"...so don't you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who plead with him day and night?" Lk. 18:6

"...I assure you, everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God, will be repaid many times over in this life, as well as receiving eternal life in the world to come." Lk. 18:29-30

Two observations from today's reading: First, we are called to be persistent in our prayer, to literally "wear God out" with our prayer, he promises that he WILL answer! Second, and this is not to puff ourselves up in any way because it is only God that enables, but this is for our kids so they will always know their legacy. Verses 29-30 are your mom and dad -- we left home, brothers, sisters and parents to follow God, and remain willing to do it all over again if he asks us to.

Jesus, I will never cease thanking you for sending your Holy Spirit to help us in this life.

Today's reading: Gen. 44-46; Lk. 18

Hello Mike, maybe your gift back to God is right here. Maybe your extra time might serve him soon by writing, i.e. a book, a novel (non-fictional), true experiences that can help. I was blessed again today, I saw you. Thank you Mike. Friends are friends forever..........V
