~~~A GOOD NAME ~~ ---"A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." ---(Proverbs 22:1 / NIV) -- 
~~~We should pay attention to how we conduct ourselves because our words and actions will be attached to our names forever. When you say the name of a person you know or know of, you immediately process a mental image. You also think about some of what you know about that person. That leads you to tag that person with some adjectives, especially if it is someone you know well: friendly or unfriendly, helpful or unhelpful, generous or stingy, good or evil. For example, what comes to mind when you hear the name Corrie ten Boom? What do we want people to think when they hear our name? Do we want them to remember our kindness during a trying time? Our generosity during a difficult season? Our faith when their faith was small? If “a good name is more desirable than great riches,” we should do what we can to be the kind of person who causes warm feelings to flow when our name is mentioned. THINK ABOUT ITYou were created in Christ Jesus for good works (Ephesians 2:10). When it comes to doing the kinds of things that bring a good name, the Christ-follower can honestly say, “I was made for this!” PRAYER--"Heavenly Father, give me grace to accomplish the good works You have planned and gain a good name that brings honor to Yours. Holy Spirit, help me bear Your fruit as I follow through on Your invitations to bless and serve others. In Jesus’ name, amen." Blessings, Pastor Allen Jackson--[Friend, we all were born into sin. That makes us all sinners, until we invite Jesus into our lives. He will change us from the inside out. We can not do this on our own. Our fleshly-self, wants only selfish things. That is why Jesus came to set us free from 'self'. If you have not received Him as your Lord and Savior, why not do that now? He loves you so much that He died for (the forgiveness of my) your sins. Jesus loves you with an everlasting love and underneath are His everlasting arms. The Bible is a personal love letter to each person. When others see us, we want to be an example of Him (1 Timothy 4:12). Let's shine for Jesus.]--"Till I Met You" -(lyrics) //Laura Story~~ --< https://youtu.be/6T5cRCyQaf4> ~~~~~~~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
