Hard Part!

Good morning brothers and sisters. It is one thing for Jesus to show us through the Holy Spirit to not to do something, BUT... it is completely different to do it. I can feel it at home but I have to put into practice what Jesus is telling me to do. And to be quite honest sometimes I fail. It's easy to speak of Jesus on here. It's easy. But when I walk out of this house, I have to be an imitator of Jesus to everyone. And I am sorry to say, even those that we don't like, we don't want to be around and especially to those who don't like us just because we are imitators of Christ. This morning, because He is still working on me. As I was in prayer and thanking Him, He brought this to me. Ephesians 5:8-10. 8- For you were once darkness, BUT now you are light in the Lord. WALK as children of light, 9- (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth) 10- finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. What hit me was verse 8. It doesn't say you were once in darkness, it says you were once darkness. That hit completely different this morning. I was the darkness instead of the light even though I had always believed in Jesus. But I have not always allowed Him to lead my life. And as of today, I know there is a huge difference. The difference is as big as the Grand Canyon. BUT, it also says now I am the light. I have to chose to be that light everyday. I have to stay in constant communication with the One who leads my life. I have to be light. Look around you, who can you be the light to today? Rise up child of God, rise up!
