COT:
Man this has been a crazy week at the Bailey household. I imagine it was a little crazy for all of us. I was originally going to talk about the Presidential election 🗳️ but decided to talk about something different. Although the two things I want to focus on could probably be tied to that as well.

My wife signed up for the Indy race back in February and we were supposed to be leaving later this morning and head to Indiana. We were going out for dinner and then taking it back to the hotel. The plan was for her to wake up and run her marathon.

Plans have changed. My daughter broke her arm Wednesday and has surgery scheduled at 11 AM this morning.

So what I would like to talk about is sacrifice and compassion.

My wife has been training her butt off for months. Waking up early on Saturdays or Sundays to get in long runs to prepare for this race. We thought we were taking my daughter to get a cast yesterday and that’s when we found out she would require surgery. I was trying to make a way for it to work so that my wife could go ahead and run her race, like staying back with Rebecca while she went to Indiana. She couldn’t bring herself to do it because she knew she wouldn’t be focused she knew she would be worried about my daughter. that’s both sacrifice and compassion.

Doc McStuffins AKA Dr Keith Gray spoke at my church a couple of weeks back and he defined compassion.

Compassion is made up of these 3 things:
Seeing others with empathy
Listening without distraction
Bold & Sacrificial action

“I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.”
“Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭116‬:‭1-2

COT:
In the Bible, “dying to self” is a concept that refers to the act of setting aside one’s own wants and desires to follow Jesus and live a life that is centered on God.

The world has a very different concept of living. Just look over here at this, go ahead and get this, or do that. No one is going to know, no one is going to care. The world screams at us to (fill in the blank) and you’ll be happy. Just a little more…
If it makes you feel happy, do it.

It ultimately comes down to the fact that the enemy is working triple over
time to try and make us stumble. So stand fast and choose to wake up each day, take up your cross, and follow Jesus.

“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭25‬

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬

Remember these lyrics:
“The enemy thought he had me, but Jesus said you are mine”

COT:
I asked the question about why we wake up every day? A few folks said the alarm clock. By why are we waking up. Are we stumbling through the day checking boxes to just get to the end. Or are we having purpose in our days. Back in August I had a really bad health scare. Chaplains were called in at one point to talk with Adriane. I don’t remember at all from Tuesday through Saturday morning. After a couple of days I told Adriane the thing that worried me the most was I don’t remember telling you I love you before my last surgery. Keep in mind this is when I had no memory. She said I did in my weakest moment. So my underlying cognitive thought was I love you. I also asked Adriane if I was going to die. She responded if you quit doing stupid shit you won’t :joy: :joy: :joy: this year has been shit with the loss of my brother and now this health event. But, I refuse to live in sadness and unhappiness. I’m choosing to live each day with purpose

COT:
Are you ever too far gone? Beyond the reach of God’s love?
This is one of those cases where a superlative is actually appropriate. Never means never. But what if you messed up your life/family/Sinned really bad?/Walked away from the faith. The same miracle working God who worked with the dead breathless body of Jesus to become the risen King can breath life into your soul.

My strange place for encouragement but let’s check out lamentations 3:21:
But this I called to mind and therefore I have hope. The steadfast line of the Lord NEVER ceases. His mercies NEVER come to an end. They are new EVERY morning. Great is Your faithfulness!
