There are people who gain ground by treating others badly, by using them for their own gain, and/or speaking poorly of others.

They do this to take attention off of themselves of what the are doing by putting attention on someone else who maybe going through a hard time.

What God shows us is that we are to not promote ourselves. Instead, we are to promote others and to show them love. What are you doing today to spread love?

Lord, you have reminded us that woe comes to him who builds a town with bloodshed. Also to one who establishes a city by iniquity! This is not of You that the we should labor to feed that fire nor that nations weary themselves in vain. Instead, You want that the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord just like the waters cover the sea. (Taken From Habakkuk 2:12-14)

This would mean that we should seek you to learn to Love. This means that we should seek to help others to raise up rather than promote ourselves. This means that we need to change in our hearts and minds and to seek You daily.

We ask that You be The One that guides us not our selfish desires. We ask that You Transform our hearts and minds to be like You. We ask that You Help us to Love others.

Please, forgive us for being selfish. Please, forgive us for promoting ourselves. Please, forgive us for not being the people who loves like You do.

Thank You. In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen.

If we are to please God, we need to allow The Holy Spirit to set us apart. We need to pursue a sinless life. We are to seek Righteousness. How do we do it? Through prayer, study, fellowship, being willing to be corrected/accountability, discipleship, and service.

It starts with Our Relationship with Jesus. If you don’t have a Relationship with Him or you need to rekindle that Relationship, do it now. Call out to Him and seek his Love and Forgiveness. It really is as hard or easy as you make it.

We should look to Him daily to seek a relationship with Him. I want to encourage you to seek Him today, if you haven’t already. If you need help, have questions or need direction in this regard, please, feel free to let me know.

Maybe today you are struggling with something. Maybe you may have found yourself not as close to The Lord as you thought. We would like to help you in this through prayer and guidance. If you find yourself in need of prayer and/or encouragement, please, feel free to call or text +1 (505) 600-1027 or email cross66info@gmail.com

Mark Grothe
Mark is a US Army Veteran and has called Albuquerque home since 1997. He earned degrees at Albuquerque Bible College, and Faith Evangelical Seminary before attending the Shepherd’s School at Cross Christian Fellowship. He has felt a calling to start a church along Route 66, in Albuquerque to reach others for Christ. Mark has had struggles with addictions, drugs, alcohol and other things, in the past. He has recovered from them, with Christ and has a desire to help others with them as well. He has a desire to setup a recovery home in Albuquerque, or nearby, to help others in the recovery process as well as help them gain some job skills and learn to have personal interactions with others. Mark grew up in traditional churches. He did not find the true meaning of having a Relationship with Jesus. At the age of 31, after hearing a Pastor talk about this Relationship, he rededicated his life to Jesus and started on a path for ministry. You can check out Recovery In Action Ministries FaceBook Page for more info on Recovery issues. Mark has been married to his wife Rebecca since 2005. Together they have four boys between them. They minister together to help others grow in their relationships with their spouses, children and family. In his free time, Mark likes to ride motorcycles, shooting and building things.
