DON’T JUST EXIST, BUT LIVE INSTEAD!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: ” For the scriptures say, ‘ It is through faith that a righteous person has life.’ Galatians 3:11

TODAY’S MESSAGE: You and I are not to live our lives in the world by just existing. We are to live by expressing the joy of Jesus. When we truly love Jesus, that love will fulfill our lives and begin to ooze out to those around us. Our faith will be forever growing, and our walk will be one of joy, power and strength. We will show a confidence that only our God in heaven can give us. We will not allow the fears of this earth to stand in our way, because we understand that this life is a gift from God. Our life is to be lived as a testimony to his existence. We will display joy no matter the situation. With a faith that cannot be shaken, we will give every situation we confront, over to Jesus. Our burdens will become light, and our joys will increase. Yes, we are all human. We all have human emotions that sometimes overtake our actions. However, as we recognize these actions, we are fast to ask for forgiveness and move on. Our Lord gives us the opportunity to live this life without fear of making mistakes. We can see the evil going on in the world but not partake. We can hear of the threat of wars but not become fearful. We can become criticized and persecuted but not defeated. With faith in our Lord, we are able to march on and complete each task he has given us. We are able to stand out in the crowd and be seen as one who sees this world differently than the unsaved. Our God in heaven has given us the tools we need to live our lives in peace and with wisdom, if we just believe and continue to build our faith in Jesus each and every day! We are to live in Jesus and not to just exist in the world! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
