Day 8~Blessed~The Character of a Disciple



"God is more interested in who you are than what you do."
Personal Relationships
39“But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but awhoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
40“If anyone wants to sue you and take your 1shirt, let him have your 2coat also.
41“Whoever 1forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
42“aGive to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
43“aYou have heard that it was said, ‘bYou shall love your neighbor cand hate your enemy.’
44“But I say to you, alove your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45so that you may 1be asons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46“For aif you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47“If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
48“Therefore 1ayou are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

This chapter can be an eye opener depending whom you are. In order to fulfill Jesus international movement, it requires character. The good news for those of us who lack character is, we are 100% approved by God when we take the path in life marked by godly character. When we are truly satisfied with whom we really are!!

Toady I was more than happy 2 challenge myself and asked the LORD not only in prayer but in many different disciplines of the flesh to help me with my character defects so I can be the godly man I need 2 be in order 2 fulfill His mission.
Also, 2nite the 'Freedom House" did chapter 2 of The Discipleship Dare...Many men are either figuring out their calling or are seeking their calling...Some men are being challenged in prayer, some men are realizing that their calling is right now in the work place, school, or at home,etc....That this is the mission/calling!!!
