serving a limitless God

When some friends and I were out walking, we talked about how we serve God.
And how do we serve him?
Do we serve him in worship? in our giving of time, engery, and offerings?
Or perhaps it's been hospitable, we can open up our home/ flat, abode, to anyone and make them feel welcome,  there where several people are gathered in the name of God there he is also.
When I talk about home, I love my home, and I love all the aspects I can do there, I love how our parents opened up our place of Israeli strangers, and offering them food, a bed, a shower, and hearing their stories late in the night.
From  a young age my parents have also used what they have to show others the Love of Christ.
And I hope that one day I will do the same.
We often put limits on ourselves, and sometimes yes on God, we give him Sundays, to have our time with him, but shouldn't it be all the time?
We should act in such away that, people, without being pushy, want God.
But sometimes fear gets in the way, what will others say, when we tell them, it's of God?
That we're doing it souly for him, and not our own Christian benefit.
At the moment, my church is building a new church, and it's exciting, but I have one fear, and that is, when we have this church, and all that flashiness, that goes along with it, we will praise the building and not God.
I am really aware of this, and it's been on my heart, to pray about it, because even King Soloman fell, and got lead astray with his Christianity, and went after his wife's gods.
King Josiah, at age 8 was made king, and he deposed his own extended family, from ruling because he could see that what they ( the Israelite's) were doing were bad.
But he fell, and he sacrificed his own sons in the fire to Molec.
How can we keep on the straight path, well as you know it's really hard being a Christian, and you come up against some really hard people, and sometimes Christian people, hurt other Christians as well, And sometimes, if you're giving out alot, there's often the sense of burnout, if people aren't helping you.
So my question is, how are we going about our Christian lives? God is giving us so many opportunities, even in the small things, even offering a drink of water to a person that's serving.
We serve a God with no limits, we serve a God who is all powerful, all understanding, when no one feel like no is understanding us, we are loved continually by God, no mater what we are going through, what we are facing. His love and his acceptance is there, through the nights you cry yourself to sleep, because the pain is deep, or that you're dazzlingly happy.
God is there with you.
His love is like an over flowing fountain, that never runs out, you will always have more than you need.
I don't know about you, but sometimes it's easy to just love the people you get on with, and that's true, and it's normal, we are called to love others as much as we love ourselves, now loving ourselves might seem odd. But in order to treat others right we need to love ourselves, we like our hair, our character, who we hang out with, what we are doing how we are doing in life, and yes treat yourself, don't think you don't deserve it because you do.
God doesn't have any limits on us, and we shouldn't have any limits, yes there's money limits, but that's because we should live between our means, and watch our dept.
It is sad that to get a home you have to go and get a loan, and pay it off.
But don't let that put you off achieving your dreams, don't go and think, "I could never do that, I could never do what so and so is doing.'' don't compare yourself to others, take everything as it comes, we are all needed in this world, I need my family, and my friends, I need you.
But you also need me, and that's loving people without limits.
I know I haven't done a psalm today, that's because I'm just wanting to write this post because I think there's some people out there that need to know they feel loved, and accepted, it's not all about the air brushed look in glossy magazines, take time to thank God for what he is doing, check where and what you're sacrificing to, see if it's Godly, and fill your minds with good things.
Until another day, may the God of peace, Love and Joy be with you.
