The reason some of us are such poor specimens of Christianity is because we have no Almighty Christ.  We have Christian attributes and experiences, but there is no abandonment to Jesus Christ.

From John 4:11-14:  “The woman said to him, ‘Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?  Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?  Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.’  The woman said to him, ‘Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.'”

Forget the faults of others by remembering your own.

From John 8:7:  “When they kept on questioning Him [Jesus], He straightened up and said to them, ‘Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.'”

When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.

From John 16:32-33:  “The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each one to his home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me.  I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace.  In the world you face persecution.  But take courage; I have conquered the world!”

Our Lord is ultimately acquainted with all our ways.  Darkness and light are alike to Him.  Not one of us is hidden from His sight.  He sees it all.  He knows our frame.  He remembers we are dust . . .  Best of all, He loves us still.

From Proverbs 10:12:  “Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.”

I think it’s sad if a person’s whole self-image and self-worth is based in their job.  Whatever you might be, why not try your best to live a more interesting life that includes other people, other cultures, and different worlds?

If I just did basketball, I’d be bored to death.  How much satisfaction can you get out of doing jump shots and teaching someone to deny in the passing lanes?
