Good Stewardship and Care for ALL People

Want to see the heart of that special someone given to Christ? Be a lover of all people. Not just your own circle of influence. Let your love so shine as to reflect the Christ that dwells inside of you. We aren't to hide under a bushel or be ashamed of our Light (Jesus)! (Romans 1:16, Mark 4:21, Luke 8:16, Luke 11:33)

Scripture instructs us to pray for all people (1 Tim. 2:1-8). When we choose to pray for all the people that God puts on our hearts, then the Lord is shown how much we genuinely care about souls.

God is honored when we make a point to be good stewards of the gifts He has given us. When we steward our time, energy, efforts, money, knowledge, and giftings of the Holy Spirit with wisdom, the Lord is glorified, and His hand is prepared to move on behalf of that loved one that you want to see come to Him. 1 Peter 4:10 and Titus 1:7-9 show us this importance.

Maybe you're in a season of raising children or helping with grandchildren. Proverbs 22:6 tells us to "train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Start now if you haven't already, in teaching them the ways of God. Maybe you tried, but your adult wayward child has gone far from the Lord, and you may even question whether or not they ever truly "got it" in the first place. I am with you, if that's who you are. I understand the heartache. I'm counting on God's promises to deliver... are you?

Maybe your adult child never really made a profession of faith. In any of these situations, El Roi (The God who SEES) cares about this yearning in your heart. It may not be a child, but it may be someone else. God knows your heart. He hears your longings when you come to Him with a clean heart. David was well familiar, as well. (Psalm 18:6, Psalm 116:2, Psalm 145:18)

Let your requests be made known to God, be anxious for nothing, and TRUST that He has a plan and a purpose for the person you are praying for, and THANK HIM in advance for what He is going to do as you pray for all people and steward well what He has entrusted you with! (Phil 4:6, Prov. 3:5, Jer. 29:11)
