6.11- Push the children of God including yourself, most and firstly yourself to move forward

 6.11-

Push the children of God including yourself, most and firstly yourself to move forward from accepting the grace and mercy of God.  We move forward into service with whatever gifts we have.   Sometimes we serve and complain because others don’t serve in the way we do.

Luke 10.

38 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who was also seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with [u]all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving [v]by myself? Then tell her to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; 42 but only one thing is necessary; for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

Peter encouraged us to do our work and present our gifts without complaining about others not doing their part.

1 Peter 4.

 Be hospitable to one another without complaint. 10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the [h]multifaceted grace of God. 

Some have the gift of hospitality without complaint.

Proverbs 31.


14 
She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
15 And she rises while it is still night

And gives food to her household,
And [i]portions to her attendants.

Some who do this work do the hospitality with complaints.

Luke 10.

38 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who was also seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with [u]all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving [v]by myself? Then tell her to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; 42 but only one thing is necessary; for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
