God's Ten Most Wanted
You have likely heard about the FBI’s ten most wanted list. This infamous list contains the names of individuals that defy all laws and kill or maim on a whim.
Perhaps God also has a more desirable list containing the identities of those that He most wants. It might read like this:
The person who puts God and His kingdom above other concerns. (Mt. 6:33)
The person who values God's word above riches. (Psa. 119:162)
The person who can't wait to pray. (Psa. 55:17)
The person who gets genuinely excited about assembling with the saints to worship almighty God. (Psa. 122:1)
The person that constantly thanks God for his or her blessings. (1 Thess. 5:18)
The person who is cheerful about the privilege of giving back to God and to those in need. (2 Cor. 9:7)
The person who is constantly looking for opportunities to serve others. (Gal. 6:10)
The person who prays for the lost and seeks opportunities to share a word about Jesus Christ. (1 Cor. 9:16)
Parents who do everything possible to teach their children about God and to walk in the steps of Jesus. (Eph. 6:4)
The person who makes it a priority to forgive anyone that offends or sins against him or her. (Matt. 18:22)
The person who makes it a point to visit and encourage those that are sick or neglected. (James 1:27)
********************************************
Although the above list may represent a reasonable estimate as to "God's Ten Most Wanted", it actually contains eleven. But I don't think God minds, do you? May we all strive to please Him in everything we do.
Jesus, always Jesus!
