i've been doing a lot of work
lately so i just searched "work" in bible.org
so i can have an encouraging verse to think
about and refer back to.
Jam 2:18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” 1
Show me your faith without works and I will show you faith by 2 my
works. http://net.bible.org/search.php?search=work&mode=&scope
kindof confusing but i've heard this before.
some people just work and help out at church.
but without some faith in that maybe helping
the kids in church because God has called you
to do so, or doing because you want to show
people to Christ. And not just working and working
to "look good in God's eyes."
I've heard Catholics believe in faith by works.
But i think that most of them tend to just work
to "look good in God's eyes". You also have to
have a good relationship with him. :)
Kindof like the story of Mary & Mary Magdeline.
I don't know it too well, but one is working and the
other is talking with Jesus and learning from the
stuff he has to say. :)
Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Please help us to have a relationship with you so we can
have a calling to show us our faith through works also.
Help us to be more like you. :) Thank you for everything
you have done and given to me.
Love, Elissa. :) & Amen. <333
