To my Man Friends!
Saturday, October 25th, 2008A recent email I sent to some men that came to mind as I as praying for my own heart - to be a man of C.A.R.S. for Christ!
a man of Godly…
- Character
- Attitude
- Relationships
- Service
WOW…Stephen was a C.A.R.S. man of God! I’ve been looking at Stephen’s life, reflecting on my C.A.R.S. and questioned the depth of my faith, while meditating on the verse below.
I know God is with me, I know I love Him, I know He is my all in all – but put in Stephen’s scenario, would I be praying for those who are murdering me!!
Acts 7
59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.”
I am enflamed with conviction, to grow deeper in love with Jesus!!
I want my character, attitude, relationships and service to be deeply real, violently strong, outrageously passionate!!!
GOD – HELP ME…HELP ME…I want to be LIKE YOU!!!!!
I’m desperate because I’m lacking!
I’m hungry because I’m lazy!
I’m weak because I’m complacent!!
Lord – deliver me from ME!
I decrease, that you may increase!
I yield and surrender so that You may have the right of way in my ENTIRE LIFE!!!
