Devo time!

Rom 12:9-21
- God speaks about love in this passage. How we must act around one another as the body of Christ.  The one verse that jumped out at me was 11: "Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord."
DEFINITIONS-
Zeal- eagerness and ardent interest in pursuit of something
Fervor- intensity of feeling or expression
So what the passage was saying is that we should stay eager and hungry, spiritually intense serving JESUS! 
Right now i feel like thats what I need to be like, to not lack intensity of life! I could literally feel God's presence when reading verses 9-21! Thank you Jesus.


Matt 10:1-4
-Wow! this passage just speaks to me about how serious Jesus is! He called these 12 ordinary guys and gives them "AUTHORITY TO DRIVE OUT EVIL SPIRITS AND TO HEAL EVERY DISEASE AND SICKNESS" verse 1. 


TRUE STORY STATEMENT- Jesus takes the ordinary and makes them EXTRAORDINARY! 


Acts 26: 9-18
-God can use you no matter what your past looks like. This is a clear example of how God can use ANYONE at ANY MOMENT! What a testimony is what I was thinking when i read this passage. But the truth of the matter is look in the mirror! Look at that testimony! God has a plan for everyone of us, just trust and believe be obedient and serve Jesus!
