Here we are making another attempt to write this post. My first attempt was deleted while I was still writing it. So this post is important for someone or some people. There was too much happening during the first attempt to say that it was an error by me. So God be glorified in this post and have it reach those people you intend to reach. Thank you God and Amen.
A couple of Sundays ago the Lord spoke through me a message that we all need to hear. It went ” I see the dancing. I hear the singing. I see the joy. I hear the praise and worship. But I ask that if your life were a letter how does it read? Is it fiction or something that I would want to read. This letter should bring joy. This letter should bring love. Come to me and start this letter. Make it a letter that I would want to read all the days of your life.” The beginning starts with God telling us that He knows what is going on. We can’t fool Him. He sees and hears all that we say and speak and do. That is why He said this. Knowing all this He goes on to ask us a question. Are we living a life that speaks of Him? What a great question this is. Makes me take the time to stop and think about it. Am I living His kind of life? What does it say? Is it about me or Him? I honestly want to say that it talks of Him. Although I know the answer is ” not totally.” That being said, I (we) need to ask where does it need to change? If we spend the time praying and resting in His presence we will get an answer.
The answer is about what is standing in the way of His joy and love. What needs to go and what needs to altered. Is it pleasing in His sight? Are we going to settle for good or pleasing? Or are we going to strive for perfect? Do we talk about that which is good and building up one another? Or is it fiction in His sight? God’s joy and love are what people need and want today. This is what He wants our lives to speak clearly. Remember the great commandment is about loving God first and then your neighbor. Nowhere does it talk about me first and everything else follows after it. Our lives should be a gospel of Jesus Christ. His word. His truth. His love and grace.
To get this He tells us to go to Him and get started on this letter of life. He will make it a letter that He wants to read. We just need to let Him. If we do He will read it all the days of our lives. God doesn’t say things just to hear His own words being spoken. This is what He wants of us now. The time is coming of Jesus’ return. Are we doing all that we can to spread His gospel? Our neighbor may not actually read the bible, but they do pay attention to how we live our lives. Looking for an opportunity to tear us down. Remember that Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one goes to the Father except by Jesus.
Thanks for reading this and please spend time going over your life. Let it speak clearly of Jesus. Share this post with others and have an outstanding day.
Be blessed, Ken
