Pursuing more of Jesus [continued.....]

Pursue more of His dirt on your hands . Just as Jesus was willing to get His hands dirty serving others willingly, humbly, obediently, and gladly, He expects you to do the same. Choose to serve other people whenever God calls you to – even when it's not convenient or when you're struggling with serious problems of your own. Shift your focus from yourself to Jesus and the people He wants you to serve. In the process, your own problems will become more manageable. Never view yourself as being above any particular type of service – changing diapers, mowing grass, making coffee, visiting prisoners, etc. When you do any task that God calls you to do, your work – no matter how humble – will become important because you're answering God's call.   Pursue more of His hope in your grief. Jesus has given you the hope of heaven in your grief. Let the promise of heaven sharpen your focus to help you see that any difficult situation you're going through now is temporary

On Tuesday 25th January 2011 millions of protestors drawn from a variety of socio-economic and religious backgrounds gathered around Tahrir square and demanded the overthrow of the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. On 11th February 2011, following weeks of determined popular protest and pressure, Mubarak resigned from office. Grievances of Egyptian protesters were focused on legal and political issues including police brutality, state of emergency laws, lack of free elections and freedom of speech, uncontrollable corruption, and economic issues including high unemployment, food price inflation, and low minimum wages.
