We talked about the impact our words can have on the people around us.

It was a pleasure to be in the gloom with a group of HIMs that do such a great job engaging in community, stepping up to lead, and checking in with each other.

Thanks to Mermaid for trading places for a day.

Matthew 6:2-4

…2So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.…

Why is this so hard?  It’s so tempting to humblebrag. Why is it not enough that my Creator sees me and my heart when I do a good deed? I have had several moments this year where I helped someone out, didn’t tell anyone, and it was so hard to not share about it.

I’m faced with asking myself, who am I doing this for? Is it really an act of love if I’m doing it for myself, for my own glory? My challenge for me and you is to ask God to put someone in your path that needs help. Ask God to give you strength and true love for Him and the person you are helping. Afterwards, go back to God and give Him the glory.

Continuing what CheatSheet talked about last week…

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Live like today is the 1st day and the last day of your life.  – Chase the Lion

Why is it so tempting to control our own lives? We are told to worry about money, our status, success, our retirement. I think about when I’m on my death bed, will I be pleased with how comfortable I made myself and my family in life. Or will I regret not taking more chances? Will I regret not giving up more of my time and resources for others. Jesus demonstrated pouring out his life for us. I think he is the ultimate example of chasing the lion.
