What does God expect of you personally?
Myrna NeffJefferson Center UMCWarren |
He expects me to use what he has given me, to do the very best I can. He only expects what I am capable of doing, no more, but no less. God expects me to be humble, sincere, contrite, forgiving, loyal, serving with joy, to be truthful and always thanking him for his goodness and grace to me. He expects me to read his word and to communicate with him every day, to share the good news of Jesus with others by word and by the way I live each day. |
Rev. Rob NeelGranger Good Shepherd UMCGranger |
Everything! "Come, follow me." I need to be the best husband, the best father to my children, the best friend to my neighbors. God puts me in a sphere of influence. He wants me to give joyfully and generously. He wants me to be "willing to get out of the boat." |
Martha BradyCentennial UMCGary |
God expects me to love -- to love everyone. That's our
commitment. If we put love first as Jesus commanded, we would not have the
society problem today that we do have. Love takes the place of the Ten Commandments for me. I have no choice except to love everyone! |

God expects me to reach out with Christ's love and touch other people. I'm a retired farmer, and I work every day at a retirement home in Liberty, with handicapped persons. I also drive a van for those who are handicapped. I feel very close to them. |

He expects me to do all I can for the church (and) seeing people who are not able to come to church. I take tapes of the service, and visit them and bring them up-to-date on what the church is doing. I also visit in nursing homes. Prayer is an important part in my life, praying for the church, the minister, the many committees of the church and the people of our congregation. |
