Be Faithful 8/4-6

04-06 August 2016 - Be Faithful – Manna by Dorothy Callies

Matthew 25:23b “Thou has been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things.”

Awesome! Be faithful! Two powerful words encourage us to “Be Faithful!” Do you ever feel discouraged when everything seems like nothing has happened yet? What should we do? Remember the words of Jesus when He said … “Faithful servant.” It means a lot to Jesus to call us, “Faithful servants.”

Can Jesus count on you to be loyal to Him as a friend?  Can Jesus count on you to be firm in keeping promises?  Can Jesus count on you to fulfill the duties as a faithful worker? Are you the one that has faith?  Can He count on you to be faithful to Him?

Rev. 2:10 “… be thou faithful unto death …” Those are the words of Jesus Christ to the Church in Smyrna (one of the seven churches). Even Jesus encouraged the Church in Smyrna not to be afraid of suffering. “Fear none …”

Dorothy: What does this means to me?  A lot because there are so many things we have been doing including the Lord’s work.  The more we got older, the more we wondered if our day to day basis have meanings? Am I doing the right thing?  Until I saw the verse, “Thou has been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things.” Jesus’ words inspires me.  Also the song reminds me to return . . .

Song: Return
Return to the One who loves you
Return to the Savior who cares.
He’ll give perfect peace
Your burden He’ll bear
Return to the Savior who cares.
  (Inspiring Choruses)

Oh, my heart melt … Thank You, Jesus!

Dorothy
