Giving above and beyond all that is expected marks the life of a Believer. This is foolishness to the world, but aren't we CALLED to be DIFFERENT? God's mercy and grace compell me to go longer and do more than I am required to do. Dear heavenly Father, by faith I receive the precious love which was not due me, and compelled by that great love, please give me the heart of a servant so that I too may give more than what is due.<br />Thanks, Lynn for this word. Now that I know the background of this Roman practice, I understand so much better! <br />AnnaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010191665464308075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-36317341875100732122011-09-26T23:34:59.684-04:002011-09-26T23:34:59.684-04:00I was just praying about this very subject today! ...I was just praying about this very subject today! I just stumbled on this blog recently and joined and I must say that God really does answer prayers. I struggled all day with wanting to not do the right thing in a situation that has hurt me very deeply--I was even trying to justify in my mind why it would be ok for me to retaliate in some way even tho I know it is not. So, for me, I couldn't have read this post at a better time. Thank you so much for sharing this today.

What will be your response?<br /><br />May you not only walk the first mile but also walk many, compassionate, want-to miles."<br />Only God knows how much I needed to be reminded of this! You are so lovely and precious my friend...I appreciate this scripture even more now as I have received the 'background' as to which this came.<br /><br />Thank you Lynn!God Is Enthralled By Your Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474922513242545147noreply@blogger.com
