We should live our life in the manner that reflects what we believe in our hearts. Our life's testimony should be the same whether if it's in the company of strangers or with those whom we've known a lifetime. We must be uniform in our walk with the Lord treating all people as we would want to be treated and brightly shining our light of love and compassion so that all people will be drawn to God because of what they have seen through us.
Be encouraged to live your life each day so that it's a reflection of what God has commanded in His word; to love God first and love your neighbor as yourself. (1 Peter 1:13-23) (Colossians 3:16-17) (Matthew 22:37-40)
Shine your light before all men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.
“...I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:33 and 11:1
Jesus appeared to me again the other night. While I see Jesus often in the face of a mentor, I see Jesus best in my Father and Mother in law.
They show me Jesus over and over again. They seem to see the Almighty everywhere. They talk quietly of the power and majesty of the High King of Heaven.
Today my heart is full. They show me Jesus. I pray that some day when my children and grand children awaken in the night and remember me, their “precious memories” will stir thoughts of more than a mom and grandma who loves them, I hope they see a glimpse of Jesus.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 3:18
Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus declares “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”
1 Peter 1:13-16 “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I Am holy.”
Isaiah 26:3-4 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusts in Thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.”
Every moment, Every situation, Every issue, and Every concern has a positive side. Find it and bring it to life.
