My prayer for you for today is that you will live a life
of goodness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus.
Romans
13:14
Instead,
clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don't let
yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.
Romans
14:17-19
For
the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a
life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. If you serve Christ with
this attitude, you will please God, and others will approve of you, too. So then,
let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.
Clothes do not make the man. It is funny how a small
change in our clothes can have a huge effect on our self-confidence. If there
is a tiny spot of dirt on your pants or shirt, it seems to highlight itself in
every situation you find yourself in and you continuously wonder what people
will think. Or maybe your socks does not match or your pants are too tight,
whatever the problem it can change your day. When you clothe yourself with the
presence of the Lord and you ask the Holy Spirit to dwell in you, you are
different, and yes you are going to wonder what people think. When we clothe ourselves
with the presence of the Lord it resembles the closeness of your relationship
with Him. I think it is how we stand in that relationship, how we see Jesus in
our lives. He must be so close to you as your clothing is, and a small change
in that should affect you completely. The closer we will get to the Lord the
more comfortable we will become with ourselves and the less we will worry about
what others think. You see it is not what we do or what we did, but it is what
God does through us. In the end I do not want people to see me for what I did,
but I want them to say that God is awesome when they see me. God must be my
clothing, my whole self must reflect Him to the world. Let the Holy Spirit
guide you in this process of being clothed by the Lord and let us try and live
a life of goodness and joy, so that we can live in harmony with each other and
build each other up. My prayers are with you friend of Jesus, may you find that
Jesus is closer to you with every moment.
God blessed us with rain during the night, I always seem
to sleep so much better with the soft sound of rain on the roof. It is going to
be a beautiful day.
Have a great day!
Cheers.
