HE OBSERVES HIMSELF

James 1:24 (NKJV) 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 
    Working with kids this week one pretended he could not cut out a pair of ears with scissors, leaning over I held his project and cut it for him. A smile came across his face and he said thanks, he just wanted someone to care. Do we really care about others?
    A popular song by Branden Heath, says, "Give me Your eyes for just one-second," wanting to see the world from God's perspective. The author James, says we are like people who look in mirrors and forget what we look like. Natural to man is the ability to push to the back what we have been created to do, effectively saying to God your important, but not now. Every thing around us demands we acknowledge Him, yet we flounder in circumstances as if He didn't care.
     Early in his letter James says, "Count it all joy," it is so easy to put a smile on the face of another by just being you, God wants your life to count, only you can make that happen. The instructions are written clearly on the label, read Matthew 5:3-12, you will find we are blessed when we follow the instructions, they are tried and proven over thousands of years.
     Trust Him with all your heart and He will give you His promise of life, you will not fail when you allow God control of your life. What kind of person are you?
Heavenly Father, Your love is amazing, You made a way for all of us to get to You, thank You, that it cost You so much and yet we cannot buy this Love, it is freely given. May I trust in all you want to do in this life You have given me, and let my every breath count for You? Amen
