Listen to your friends

Thanks Rhonda I needed this "assign me my portion and my cup (Ps. 16:5)" Im learning our cup is probably exactly the right size.

Whats on my mind this week? Romans 12 1 And so, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.[b] 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

I keep coming back to the "all he has done for you"

As we are coming into the Easter season I can't help but remember sitting in a theatre watching the "Passion of Christ" and even though it was in Aramaic I knew what was being said and wanted to stand up and scream "STOP" when Christ was being beaten and flogged as tears rolled down my face.

One thing I have learned is that as belivers we shouldn't discount or disregard others struggles as meaningless to us because we don't relate to them or don't think their struggle is a big deal. We should hold them up and encourage them.
