JESUS STOPPED

Jesus Stopped…
In the gospel of Mark chapter 10 is recorded the time when Jesus and a large crowd were leaving Jericho and thru the commotion of the large crowd Jesus somehow dialed in on one voice, the voice of Bartimaeus and the Bible says that Jesus Stopped.
Most of the miracles that Jesus did happened only after he stopped what he was doing or where he was going and was willing to be inconvenience by someone and interrupted by someone.  If you will make the commitment to stop throughout your day and allow yourself to become aware of others around you and actually notice them and become engaged with them, then you will begin to see the miracles and works of Jesus flow thru you.
Paul said in Eph. 2:10 that the reason you were created by God is that you would do good works in the name of Jesus; that God planned to create you that you would do good works of service and deeds of kindness on your Journey of life and that thru your actions God would be glorified.
Decide right now, that each day will start with a fresh commitment to stop; to be interrupted; to be inconvenienced, so that you might add value to someone’s life and that God would use you to express His love to another human being.
Your small act of kindness could be someone else’s miracle.
