Sometimes as Christians we forget
the base of what it is to be a Christian; loving people. We have to put away our pride, our
egocentrism, stop being conceited and look at the bigger picture. At times we get consumed with our own lives and
we forget how to be humble in our everyday lives. God wants us to realize when we have done
wrong and be sincere and apologetic about it.
He wants us to love our family, friends and those around us regardless
of where they are in their Christian walk.
“But the wisdom that comes from
heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving,
considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere” (James
3:16-18).
God wants us to help those in need, and take action because that
is what He has desired for us in that moment.
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will
counsel you with my loving eye
on you” (Psalm 32:8). You see, being a
Christian is not easy, but it is doable.
In 1
Timothy 1:12, it says “I thank Christ Jesus our
Lord, who has given me strength,
that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.” Instead
of pushing back and not seeing the true blessing the Lord has for us, we have
to take pride and joy in the work the Lord has given to us. It is a gift and we need to take it, cherish
it and learn from it. As a Christian, we
are not to push people away, through our service, good deeds and most of all,
through our testimony. God will allow them to see the light that shines through
you and in turn they too will be blessed in being saved. Don’t let your pride get in the way of the
Lord’s work. Being a Christian is more
than just going to church, praising God, reading the Bible, and fellowshipping
with your church. Allow yourself to love
the world and those in it; it will give you a free spirit to do God’s work in
all aspects of this world.
Smile, keep yourself free to do
God’s will, allow yourself to feel his presence and open your heart to others.
Keeping yourself closed will not allow you to bless or be blessed. “Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters” (Hebrews 13:1).
