Inspiration: Today’s society and pressures make most people selfish. At College or University, the common expression in conversations is: “How is this going to benefit me?” Bumperstickers say “He who has the most toys when he dies, wins.” I realized it is only by the saving grace of Jesus and renewing one’s life to His ways, that one can escape the world of selfishness and enter into the Christian life of selflessness.

Inspiration: A fast food store worker shared his testimony one day. He said at age four, his parents divorced and he lived one year with his mother. His mother didn’t want him and sent him to his Dad. His Dad didn’t want him and sent him to his grandparents. At the age of seven, his grandparents gave up on him and he was moved from foster home to foster home. It was at Christmas time when he shared his story and I wept hearing he had no family that cared about him nor tried to keep in touch with him. The good news is that he has committed his life to Jesus and is in God’s family. God sent him a friend to share Christmas with.

Inspiration: My prayer at my job was that I would be like Daniel in the Bible who had “God’s excellence” on him. God blessed my work tremendously to the point where one year I was the top employee among seven different cities. God promoted me by blessing my work and letting me produce much for the company. Every year God blessed my work to the extend I was given free vacations in exotic resort places along with the other top performers from my firm. The top salesmen in the entire nation gave a speech at one of these trips and he said “I give all the glory to God”. This blessed me since all the non Christians heard it.

Inspiration: I have seen many miracles right before my eyes. Healing miracles are awesome but salvation miracles are even greater. One day some people from our church went to a rough neighborhood in town to share Jesus and bring food to the poor. We would pray beforehand to ask God where to send us. A husky tattooed-man drinking beer came up to me on the street one day and started talking. Minutes later he started to cry, and I was able to lead him in prayer to Jesus. It was God’s power that hit him. This showed me that witnessing becomes easier the more time one spends praying in the Holy Spirit before one goes out.

Inspiration: One Bible teacher gave the best definition of grace that I had ever heard. He said today’s language has narrowed that definition down to mercy or unmerited favour. However that is only part of it. He said that grace is God’s power and ability to do in you what you can not do by yourself. This is why Paul emphasized in his writings in the Bible that with God’s grace (His power and ability) Christians could accomplish things they could not do by themselves.
