Go figure.<br /><br />At some point in life I learned to "Quit apologizing to God why I was not what He never intended me to be." Backt Sighn's often said, "I have no greater joy than to know the will of God and to do it."<br /><br />Micah 6:8 "He hath shown thee, o man, what is good. And what doth the Lord require of thee? Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly with thy God."<br /><br />Great post. Thanks for sharing...

(And post by the way! ;o) This is...Love this verse! (And post by the way! ;o) This is just what I've been thinking about (is it weird that everything another friend blogs about just happens to be just what I was thinking about?!). So many Christians try to convert a nation, or at the very least change gov't, to fit into our mold, in short, get heaven here on earth. Actually what God is calling us to do is just show love, His love, to the common people in our little neighborhoods at our non-life changing jobs on our volleyball teams. Jesus didn't broadcast his sermons on BBC or CNN, it was His LIFE and LOVE that made all the difference, feeding sometimes 12 and sometimes 5,000 at a time. Really, I have so much more to say that this post has fired up within me but geez, girl! You've already said it so I'll hop down like a good girl off my soap box. Needless to say, I love this post!!dinahttp://www.morningstarr.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205552004273454290.post-5616154321568532172009-08-09T11:28:13.531-05:002009-08-09T11:28:13.531-05:00What an encouraging post.

Even today I found myself asking Jesus how to save the world, there are so many huge problems, and then here you are to remind me, in His words, that I don't need to save the world, just reach my own neighborhood.
