To God be the glory

Just got back from prayer meeting. Had a really good fellowship with the Lord. One of my aunties from Samoa led it this morning. What a blessing to have new voices of servants of God bring His message. Our theme this morning was remembering the love of God. That from His love, all blessings flowed. She said sometimes we forget where the blessings come from. We must always remember that everything we have we received from Him. Our possessions, our abilities and our lives. We are to return those blessings to Him in service.

We have been blessed this month with a fundraiser that exceeded our expectations. The program was extremely well received. It's almost enough to give you a big head. But this morning's theme was a great reminder that we are nothing without the love of God. His grace enabled us to be reconciled with Him. We must humble ourselves and use all of our God-given abilities to return the glory to Him. Sometimes when we think we are 'all that' as the kids say, it's always nice to be reminded where the true source of our success comes from.

The youth are very succeptible to this mentality. As young people, we think we are invincible and the world revolves around us. We forget that to live for Christ is to live for others. As we continue to prepare for our Labor Day mafuataga, may we remember that we are ambassadors for Christ and we should reflect Him in all we do.
