We are Blessed to Be a Blessing

John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through Him they might be saved."

Why is it that a lot of the time when you say you follow Jesus Christ, that you want to emulate His life in yours that you are labeled a condemer, a judger? Who started this anyway? There in John it specifically says that Jesus did not come to condemn, but to save!

That is what I need to be doing in my life, where I live. Now, don't get me wrong...there is NO WAY that I can save anyone, but I can lead them to the One who can.

God has blessed me so that I can bless others. Maybe that's the rub. Maybe, just maybe, I'm not blessing.

It has made me think about just how God has blessed me and what I can do to bless others. How can I be an encouragement? How can I be salt and light?

Now, there will be a time that Jesus comes to judge and rule, but for now He came to save!

I want to reflect that in my life.
