David Asks Why Ch 9 You Job Your Life

 

Life and light and happiness come from God. He shares these things with everyone and everything He made. lf people have God's life in their hearts, they will share that with other people  he same way God shares good things with them. They will share love and good things to others.

 More than anything else, Jesus loved to lift up people and save them. He was even willing to die, if He could just save people That is why He died on the cross. God's angels spend all of their time working to make other people happy too. That is what angels most love to do.

Selfish people think it's embarrassing to help people who are less important than they are. But angels like to do it. Jesus isn't selfish at all. He always puts other people first. So does everyone in heaven. That's why heaven is such a happy place. People here on earth who really love Jesus will be this way too.

 They will do what needs to be done to help and care for other people When Jesus' love is in your heart, it will be so sweet that you can't hide it. That love is holy, and everyone who comes near will feel it. When Jesus is in your heart, you'll be like water to thirsty people who feel they are going to die without a drink of water. They will be thirsty to know that Jesus loves them lf you love Jesus, you will want to help people the way He did.

 His love will make you loving and gentle. lt will make you kind to every person or animal that God has made. Jesus wasn't lazy. He didn't spend His time trying to make Himself more comfortable. He worked hard to save people,

 From the time He was born until the time He died, He was never self- ish. He didn't try to get out of doing hard jobs or long, tiring trips or hard work, He said, "l didn't come so you could help Me. I came to help people and then to die for them" (Matthew 20.28)

The main thing Jesus came to do was to help people. Nothing else was quite so important to Him. The things He did were never selfish. lf you have Jesus' love and power in your life, you'll be willing to give up anything so that other people can go to heaven with you. You will do all you can to make the world better.

 That's how people are who have new hearts. As soon as you come to Jesus, you'll want to tell other people about your precious Friend. you  can't hide the fact that He's your Helper.

 lf Jesus'  righteousness is covering you like a warm, beautiful coat, if you have  God's Holy Spirit in your heart. you won't be able to keep quiet   about it! lf you have learned how good Jesus is, you will just have   to tell other people. You'll want to invite them to come meet   Jesus too. You will want to tell them about your wonderful Jesus and about heaven. You will want to follow Jesus and be just like   Him. You'll want other people to meet Jesus who can take away   their sins (John 1:29)!

And when you try to bless other people and make them happy, it will make you happy too.

 That's why God wants us to  help Him save people, because when we tell someone about   Him, it makes us really, truly happy. When we take the new   heart that Jesus wants to give us, and then it will be our turn to share what we have with other people.

 The most important job we can ever have and the thing that will make us most happy, is to  share God's good things with other people. lf you want to   become a very close friend with Jesus, work with Him because  you love Him. God could have asked angels to tell people about Him   and His love. He could have had them do all the work. But He  loved us so much that He let us work with Him and the angels.

 We get to share blessings and happiness with other people

When someone hurts us or is mean to us, we understand how Jesus felt when people were mean to Him. Every time we give up something to help someone, we learn to love giving.

This is how we learn to be part of Jesus' team-the team that helps  Him save the world. The Bible says Jesus "used to be rich, but He decided to be poor so that we could be rich" (2  Corinthians 13:9).

 lf you want to have a happy life, you give and share with  others. Be unselfish, because that's what God wants. When you work like Jesus wants you to and help people   to know and love Him, you will understand that you need  nature and more of Jesus and His goodness yourself.

Then you will  pray, and God will give you more faith so that you will believe in  Him even more. You will be filled with His goodness and power.   when had things happen or when people are mean. pray more   and read the Bible. Then you will grow in Jesus' love and power, and   you will know Him better and be happier.  ple. That is why He died on the cross.

This is how we learn to be part of Jesus' team-the team that helps Him save the world.

 When you are unselfish, Like Jesus, you will be lovely like Jesus

You will be happy, and there will be no room in your life to be lazy or selfish. As you practice being this kind of a Christian, you'll grow and become a strong worker for God. You'll be able to better understand things about God, and your faith fill be stronger Your prayers will be strong and powerful too. God's Spirit will change you and make you more and more lovely. lf you spend your time learning to help others and not be selfish, you will show that Jesus has saved you.

There is only one way for God's love and power to grow in your life. Do the work Jesus wants you to do Do the best job you can to help the people who need you. lf you exercise, your body becomes stronger 

To live a healthy, active life, you have to run and jump and play. 

It's the same with your love for God. lf you just take all the gifts God gives you, and then sit back and be lazy andnever do anything for Jesus; it's like never exercising your muscles

lt doesn't work very well. lf you don't do anything except eat and eat, you'll die And if you just take all of God’s gifts and don’t share them with others, you’ll wither away spiritually you won't grow, and before long, you won't be a Christian at all

Who do you think God expects to teach people how to have their sins forgiven and be saved? It’s His church on earth-His people. The church's job is to tell people everywhere the good news about Jesus. This is what every Christian should be doing.

We need to tell people about Jesus  as best we can and teach them to love and follow Him. God gave us the wonderful things of love  and heaven so 

We need to wake up and do what we're supposed to do When we do, many people everywhere will be telling other people about Jesus, even though now there are just a few. You may not be able to go to some faraway country and tell people about Jesus and heaven.  give money to send people who can go. And you can be kind and helpful wherever you are-and pray for those who have gone far away to share Jesus' love. lf we would wake up and do what we need to do, more people everywhere would know about Jesus.

We don't have to go to places that have never heard of Jesus. We can work for Jesus in our own house if that is where He wants us to work. We can share Jesus with our family and with people in our church. We should share Jesus with our friends and with the people in our neighbourhood or at school or at the store.

When Jesus was here on earth, He spent most of His life working to build things as a carpenter. He lived and worked with poor people, and angels helped Him as He worked hard at the job He was supposed to do. For most of Jesus life on earth, people didn't even know who He was, and it seemed that no one really cared. 

He was faithful though. He was just as good aworker as a carpenter at home as He was later when He healed people and preached. Whatever your job is, Jesus will help you, and when you do your job well, you are working with Him.

The Bible says, Whatever you are supposed to do, stay close to God while you do it First Corinthians 7  verse 24

lf people are really Christians, they will be Christians in every little thing they do, no matter what their jobs are. This is one way to show Jesus to other people. Christians are always good workers. When people see this, they will learn to love Jesus too.

Sometimes people say, That person over there does a much better job than I do. I'll just let them do it all. I shouldn't waste my time. Should people who are really smart or good at what they do be the only ones who should work for God? of course not! 

The Bible tells us to give what we have and share what we can. We must all do the very best job we can. Then when Jesus comes again, He will be happy and will pay attention to everything we've done.

When we have any work to do, we should do it with a loving heart, because we're really doing it for Jesus (Colossians 3 verse 23). lf we really love God, we'll act like it. The sweet fragrance of Jesus' love will be all around us, and other people will be lifted up and made happier, just because we're around,

Don't wait until you can do something big and special before you do anything for God. Don't worry about what other people think of you. lf you are pure and sweet and if you believe in God and if other people know that you want to help them, then everything you do will be a help to someone.

Even if someone is ordinary or poor, he or she can still make other people happy. Sometimes we don't even know how much we are helping someone. We can't know all the good things that happen because we are kind and helpful-and we won't until Jesus comes again. 

We may not think our work is very special, but we don't have to worry about it. lf we just keep on quietlydoing what Jesus has asked us to do, we will be a really big help too many people. And all the time, our hearts will be growing more and more like Jesus' heart because when we work with God, it makes us ready for heaven.
