I have a question for you all.
Should loving Jesus change your life?
That seems like a simple enough question right? Of course loving Jesus should change your life. But do you really believe that? If you took a survey of people that spend time with you in an average week, would they know that you love Jesus? Now, im talking about if your facebook friends or your followers on twitter know that you love Jesus. Im asking if the people who interact with you face to face know that you love Jesus.
If you love Jesus it should change your life. If you love Jesus loving what the world loves should make you uncomfortable. Lets just clarify something real fast. When I say that loving Jesus should change your life, im not saying that you should cover your car in Christian bumper stickers, see how many WWJD bracelets you can fit on one arm, or hand out your used church bulletins to everyone you meet. When I say that loving Jesus should change your life, Im saying that it should change your inner life. Loving God should change your heart. It should make you seem different, but not, ‘that guy is WEIRD’ different, but more like, ‘I wish I could be like that’ different.
Ya know what’s really cool about letting Jesus change your life? When you let Him transform you, through the reading of His Word and prayer, the outside changes happen automatically. Sometimes you might not even realize that the change is taking place. Just like when someone walks away from Christianity. They don’t just wake up one day and say, “I think I’ll ruin my life today.” It’s a slow gradual change that many times they don’t even realize is happening.
My challenge for you today is to get lost in God’s love for you. Let Jesus change your life from the inside out.
Today’s Blessing:
Because Im waiting for God’s timing in many areas, this has allowed my love for Him to deepen.
