WWJHMD? What Would Jesus Have Me Do?

 

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning! Great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, says my soul; therefore I will hope in Him.” Lamentations 3:22-24.

 

A fourth grader celebrating his birthday while on crutches, so he couldn’t carry the cupcakes into school without help. His mother asked her sixth grade son to help his brother carry them in. “I could,” he said, “but I’d prefer not to.” Spotting a teaching moment, her husband asked, “What would Jesus do?” The boy answered, “Jesus would heal him so he could carry his own cupcakes.”

 

Sometimes I think the whole WWJD (What would Jesus Do) question should be translated to What Would Jesus Have Me Do? This has been a question we’ve been tackling on Wednesday nights with our Intentional Churches study. Looking at from the Street to the Seat perspective of changed lives for Christ.  I quote this phase of being Jesus’ hands and feet. And it becomes more than a question but about impact in our community for Christ. May we continue to focus on Him.
