COMPLICATED PILGRIM!

Life is  complicated..........to say the least! But God, is there for those who turn to Him in faith! Life on earth is temporary for His children who have the hope of eternity with Him. According to John Bunyan, life in the ""Celestial City" is sought by many pilgrims who have 
Hope in Him enhances our fellowship. What about our relationship toward those who choose not to know God? Follow God's leading comes to mind. Bunyan, in Pilgrim's Progress says, "You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you."

He (God) is kind to the ungrateful and wicked” (Luke 6:35). 

Open the door of your heart and invite them to sup with you in kindness. That might be a bit tricky but it's not complicated! 
Begin your day with a humble heart. Supersize your order with kindness verses.*


Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Eph. 4:32).

 

When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us…”  (Titus 3:4). 

Truth from God's Word is not complicated for His pilgrims!

CHOOSE: TO FILL HEART WITH GOOD THINGS

Choosing to fill a heart with good things boils down to filling it with truth. God's word is truth. When words pour forth from a heart filled with his word, those words are seasoned with Scripture. Think "salt." (Matthew 15:13)
Worthy Words. Words that honor His name.
The story is told of John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress, who said it was "hearing a group of women talk about the things of God and the work of God in their hearts," which brought about his own conversion. Bunyan certainly "took notes" of their words and then acted on what he heard.

Matthew 12:34 says , "For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks."


A good choice, to fill one's heart with good things because one never knows who might listening.
