When you repay insult with a blessing, you are gaining the victory: over the devil – he cannot gain a foothold in your life; over your enemy – your life will be a testimony and God will work on them to bring about a change; and over yourself – you will be strengthened to face the next challenge. Let’s be children of light and rejoice when persecution comes.
Finally, we are encouraged that as much as is possible, we should live peaceably with all. When we strive for peaceful resolution to our conflicts, we will be seen as peacemakers and will be called children of God. Today, He is saying to you and me, let there be peace. Let there be peace in our homes, in our offices, in our churches, and in our communities. Most importantly, let there be peace in our hearts.
Has the soul-eating disease of sin taken over your life? Like Aimee Copeland, you can get back on your feet again. It’s not so hard letting go! Just look to Jesus Christ. It’s better to be handicapped for the Kingdom while here, than to loose out altogether. Truly, it will be worth it, after all!
Am I measuring up? Am I a hypocrite? While I respect leaders and I admire their dedication (or what is seen of them): I must make Jesus my example. I must accept His righteousness, without which I will not enter. What about you? It’s time to step up our game. Let’s get serious about our Christian walk.
As Christians, we too have a responsibility to shine. In this age, when gross darkness covers the Earth, we are to arise and shine our light, lifting up Jesus Christ for all to see. We are to reflect the Source of our light in our words and deeds so that others will praise God. Just as the sun gives light to the circulating Earth, similarly, we are to let our light shine wherever darkness exists.
Jesus taught that it’s a blessing to have pure hearts. Those with pure hearts will see God. Realizing these truths, we must do all, with God’s help, to have a pure heart. We must guard carefully the avenues of our soul – especially our eyes and ears – so as not to feed our hearts with evil thoughts and company. Only allow in what is good and noble and just. And yes, ask God’s help to keep your heart pure. Let us be pure, because others care.
You too might have wandered far away from “home”. You might have lost your way. You too might have gotten your priorities mixed up or you may have done things in your life that weren’t part of your life’s plans. Disappointed and depressed, you may’ve asked yourself, “How did I get here?” You are not alone. God sees you where you are. Just call out to Him and He will be right there.
We all make mistakes in our lives! Mistakes that we wish we could just punch the undo button and erase. It may seem difficult for us, but it is possible with Jesus Christ. Do you want a new start? Jesus can give you a new start. Yes He can. Just ask Him! Ask Him to forgive your mistakes and to give you a new start. It is possible. You can do it.
