Ginny - Ephesians 5:1-4

Good Morning Girlz!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

S - Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

O - We are to be the example of Christ. Such an example includes love, sacrifice, selflessness, thankfulness

A - I remember the summer I worked at Glorieta, the centrifuge theme was love, and the main verse was the one about if you do not have love then you are like a loud, clanging gong. Well, one night the camp paster actually had a gong and started beating it with a mallet. It was REALLY loud. Like not pretty loud. Put your hands over your ears loud. This passage reminds me of that gong. If we are not loving others than are actions are more of a turn-off than a help when it comes to exemplifying Christ.

P - Lord, I don't want to be a gong. I want to put others first and what their needs are. I want to love because You love me. Help me to be a witness. A light in the darkness to those that need to see You.
