Be an arson for God, Candice!
Go around town, around your community and light fires for God! Start something. You are an instigator by nature, now go and
do the same for God. God wants everyone
to be ON FIRE for HIm. God wants
everyone to feel His burning LOVE for them.
God wants a deep, satisfying, powerful, transforming relationship with
EVERYONE….and it is not
going to start in the churches until it starts in the community…in our homes, in our
neighborhoods.
God clearly told me one day to LOVE MY NEIGHBOR, literally…my neighbors. He told me this as I was throwing a fit by
the dumpster one morning since my neighbors had yet again left trash bags lying
next to the dumpster for animals to break open and spread around the parking
lot. Additionally, the dumpster door was
often left open allowing trash to come out of the side when emptied and yet
again spread over the area. My tantrums
were not a pretty site! I stomped around
muttering loudly how lazy they are, and projecting their inability to ever move
up and out of our neighborhood with that kind of laziness. I usually start by saying, “Really! Really!
Again! You lazy people! No wonder you live here. You will never move away from here with that
kind of laziness!” Yeah, I know. Not good.
God let me throw my fit, and then gently said to my heart and in my
spirit. “Love your Neighbor….literally,
your neighbors, Candice,….here…your neighbors here….the ones that put the trash next
to the dumpster and won’t
shut the dumpster door…..love
THEM!”
So, here’s
the deal. Why don’t I ask friends to let me come
to their house and just share how i seek God…my morning devotions, journaling, singing prayers, listening
to inspirational music and dance around ringing my bell. I would share how i choose the Bible i like,
my favorite Oswald Chambers “My
Utmost for His Highest” devotion
book, my God Spot, my colored pens and stickers etc for my journal.
Find where you feel peace and GO THERE! Listen with your heart. Make a prayer list. Be who God created you to be.
Spread the love and watch
it spread like wildfire!
