😇☕️ 'DRINK UP!!' 🥛✝️

✝️🎶🎶 I listened to a song that, I'd never heard, on the radio this morning, on my way to 'Sunday School,' entitled, 'I Want to Thank You,' by, 'Karen Peck and New River.' 🎶 And, I really like it! 😃 I recommend that, you listen to it, also, if, you've never heard it, especially, if, you are a Believer!  I, shared and tweeted, it on my, Facebook and Twitter, accounts, the day in which I first heard it, however, I'll, share and tweet, it - again - after I post this blog-post, for, anyone who'd like to listen to it. 😘💖👍🏼😃 It's about, admiration and thankfulness, to God, for the people whom, HE sends, and who, allow HIM - to use them - to be witnesses - for HIM. 🙌🏼🙋🏻🙋🏿‍♂️💜 Their enthusiasm glorifies God, and, encourages HIS people.  I think that, even - unsaved people - appreciate - a Believer whose - enthusiasm for Christ is very obvious in their lifestyle (words, actions, responses, etc.)! 🙌🏼 These enthusiastic Believers - honor and love, Jesus, and, the GIFT of eternal life, in which HE'S given them, enough, to DO - whatever they CAN - to share HIM with - UNSAVED souls, so that, they may choose to accept HIM, and, HIS wonderful presence, into their beings, also! 🙌🏼🙏🏼✝️😃💜 This beautiful song is - positively recognizing - Believers who - are concerned for the eternal state of all souls, and, is also about, people who - have the, Spirit and the love of God - within, and, do not want anyone to go to Hell! 🙌🏼🙏🏼These people have a "burden" for people to get 'saved,' live the abundant life, and, go to Heaven - one glorious day, ETC., therefore, they are determined to, share 'The Gospel of Christ Jesus,' any way they can, and are - able, lead, gifted, etc., to do so (PTL)...for HIS honor and glory!!! 🙌🏼🙏🏼✝️ Many of these people - choose to be persecuted - rather than be popular! 🙏🏼 These 'SOUL WINNERS' put the 'cause of Christ' before many of their own desires! ✝️ These people use much of their energy for others - rather than for SELF! 😊 Oftentimes, these people could have more - material possessions and money, if, they weren't continually choosing to seek God's Kingdom before their own worldly agenda! 🙏🏼 I REALLY admire the type of Believer of which this song speaks...the kind who is unashamed to share his/her FAITH!  Because, this world (people) DOES need HIS, MERCY and GRACE!! 😇 I desire to be like these precious Saints, however, I have a LONG distance to go! 😔 It blesses my heart whenever, I come into contact with a Saint who, is so full of the, love and Spirit, of The Lord that, it radiates from them! 😇 I love the kind of people who, seem DRIVEN - to share JESUS with the world! 🙌🏼 They share HIM in various ways, such as - tracts, giving gifts, sending cards, sharing posts on their social media accounts, helping people with a myriad of tasks, using their spiritual gifts in lots of manners, ETC.! 😃 These dear folks know that, JESUS has changed them, and, they appreciate the GREAT PRICE that, HE paid on Calvary's cross! ✝️ I also love whenever, Believers do good deeds in Jesus' name, discretely and/or secretly, and, it's obvious that, they only desire that - HE gets the glory for it, and, not them! 🙏🏼🙌🏼😇 In other words - they don't broadcast to the world the good deed, which, they have done! 😇 After all, if, someone tells people the good that they've done (even for Jesus), then, others - knowing and admiring - him/her - IS - his/her - reward, and not, a reward from Jesus - at 'The Bema Judgment!' 💜 These Spirit-filled Saints are not putting on a "show," but rather, are expressing what is flowing from their new "hearts," in which Jesus created inside them! 💖🙌🏼😇 They cannot help themselves but to - share CHRIST! 🙌🏼😃📖🗣 You might ask - if , these "Gospel sharers" are PERFECT Christians (behavior-wise) ...and, the answer is...ABSOLUTELY NOT!!  However, 'IN CHRIST' (positionally), God views them as perfect! 🙌🏼😃✝️💜  They are usually, Believers, who are filled with the Holy Spirit - like coffee cups that - are filled up with good, hot coffee, and, are overflowing! ☕️Oh, how I love a good, hot cup of strong, black coffee! ☕️ 😃 I have a favorite brand, but, I choose not to share it on my blog. 😉☕️💖 In the "good ole summertime," I also, thoroughly, enjoy, quenching my thirst with a freshly brewed glass of iced tea, with lots of ice! 😃🥛 The Scripture just came to my mind that covers this subject, which, is found in - Revelation 3:15+16, which says, "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot:  I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold or hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." 📖🕊✝️🙏🏼 It seems to me that, Jesus is telling us to either be, cold or hot, as HIS representatives...as we live our lives!  And, to the "weary travelers," whose paths we cross, either be a, hot cup of coffee, or, a cold glass of tea (you might say) to, honor and glorify, Christ - to them! 🥛☕️ Most people do not want a lukewarm, cup or glass, of anything, especially, whenever, he/she is tired, thirsty, weary, etc.!  Nobody is impressed by "lukewarm" Believers, either...nor, do they want what they have! 🤐 "Come to think of it"...after I've encountered one of these "Jesus sharers," about whom this post speaks, I DO  feel as though I have just drank a delicious beverage, hot or cold, but, definitely NOT lukewarm!! 🤔 Hopefully and prayerfully, this post, encourages and admonishes, all of us (Believers) to LET, The Word and The Spirit, FILL us up, so that, HIS GOODNESS - overflows, rejuvenates, is pleasant to their tastebuds, quench's their thirst, etc., those with whom we are in contact, and, gives them a desire to say, "YES," to the ONE - WHO causes us to be SO - REFRESHING...CHRIST JESUS!!  📖🙏🏼🕊✝️🙌🏼💜...👋🏼...until next post...
