Love

this thought has been resounding in my head for days now…what does it mean to be a Christ follower in today’s world? In a world ini-dated with churches and philosophies and politics, where do we fit in? How does God want us to live? What should we do? Here are some things that I feel God has given me as an answer:

James 1:27

1John4: 10-12

In a world driven by success and fame I also think that there are specific things we should be focused upon. Twitters, Facebooks, Myspaces and whatever else promotes someone “following” you remember that there is one thing that we as Christ followers should do with EVERY word, EVERY breath and EVER action…GLORIFY HIM. Point to Him, and I’m not just talking about with our lips but with our lives. IT SHOULDN’T BE about how many people follow us on Twitter or Facebook but all about HIS name and HIS renown (Isaiah 26:8)! Our attitudes should be the same as Paul who said “Follow me as I follow the example of Christ”. So I say this in love…POINT TO HIM… =0)

Jesus tells us to GO and LOVE the people in the world. He has never said, “go and point the finger of condemnation”. His love saved you and is MORE than enough to save “that other guy”. This is the love that we have access to and that lives in us. We can offer what Jesus spoke over 2000 years ago, check this out:

12- When Jesus spoke again to the people he said, “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

So my question is…who and what are you living for today????? Who do you need to care for? Who do you need to show love to? What changes do we need to make?

Father, let everything we do whether in word or in deed all be about You and Your Name…

in love, CH
