Leviticus 20- 22; Acts 20

I'm not smart or creative maybe, the way I might like to want to be.......the hope Your word offers.....Acts 20: ³² "Now I'm turning you over to God, our marvelous God whose gracious Word can make you into what he wants you to be and give you everything you could possibly need in this community of holy friends.

^33-35"I've never, as you so well know, had any taste for wealth or fashion. With these bare hands I took care of my own basic needs and those who worked with me. In everything I've done, I have demonstrated to you how necessary it is to work on behalf of the weak and not exploit them. You'll not likely go wrong here if you keep remembering that our Master said, 'You're far happier giving than getting.'"

And there it is, as parents....Spiritual parents...we're happiest when we are seeing all others come to know Christ...

it's what we're wired for.....

we just short circuit so easily....so quickly.....so selfishly.....
