I Want to See People Living Like Jesus

Daily writing prompt
What’s something you’d love to see in the future, but know you probably won’t live to witness?

To follow Christ and be inwardly led by His Spirit: (Romans 8:14)
* Welcome people with kindness like Jesus welcomed them. (Matthew 11:28-29)
* Help people heal like Jesus healed people. (Matthew 4;24)
* Show people how to receive God’s forgiveness like Jesus did. (John 8:11)
* Disciple people like Jesus did. Train them to follow and obey Him. (Matthew 28:19-20)
* Clearly and consistently demonstrate the presence and reality of “Christ in you,” throughout each day. (1 Corinthians 2:4)

I want the opposite of depression in my life! With all my might I resist being depressed. With all my heart I embrace being “awepressed.” I keep looking toward God’s light and He fills me with overflowing delight at nature’s glorious sights and sounds that surround me. I am continually wowed at the incredible way He engineers my daily life.

R.I.S.K
Reach out and
Initiate
Spirit-led
Kindness.

The way to grow
Spiritually
Is to go.
And take a
Spirit-led risk!

Matthew 28:18-20:
Go and teach
People to do
What Jesus has
Commanded
You to do.

Christians:
Learn to deny
Your own desires
And to rely
On Christ in you.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
