Be My Life
John 10:10, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
Hello Friends! Today is another day given by the Father in heaven so that we can use it in positive ways to further the spreading of His message. Some of you may be the only Bible many people will read. This meaning, that when you live a Godly life, others see it, then acknowledge that God makes life better. If you take a moment to remember how dull, meaningless, hollow, and fruitless your life really was; a light bulb will click above your head! Even Solomon in the Bible realized how life has no purpose or hope, and man’s worth comes only from the Lord. Today let us gain knowledge in the facts that before you were saved, you were dead in your sins. Not physically dead but spiritually, in your life. The unbelievers are living in the worthlessness of their minds, not understanding that with God all things are changed for the good. In Ephesians Paul wrote the contrast of unsaved people with the lives of saved people. It is the before and after of our lives that needs to be recognized. The Bible teaches us to renew the spirit of your mind so that your life is changed and the “old man” has been put away and the new life in Christ now abides within us. Each disciple after receiving the call became on fire with the spirit which led them to be excited to have been brought from their old life to the new one! Once you ask God to be your life, everything around you becomes new; you see life through God’s eyes. The changes you now want will lead you down the better paths. Blessings will come when you least expect them. You will want the feeling of the new life to continue and you will want to only do things in the manner in which the word teaches. Even when you slip, or falter; God will still be there with open arms to help you remember how much better a renewed life can be. When I look back, I no longer want the old life or the dark struggles; I want God to be my new life. Where are you with your life? Do you need a refresher or are you ready to give it all to God? All you have to do is ask God to be your life!
