And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever. John 14:16 (ESV)
Recently I had an opportunity to do ministry with a family that revolves around the charity of that persons work. When I asked the family about their work and doing things on their supposed days off, I was told that the career of the husband is not just a job but a lifestyle change and commitment for the whole family.
The same goes for us that have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior in the fact that our relationship with Christ is not just from 9-5 or on Sunday mornings. When we accept Christ into our lives we are forever changed and everything that we do in this life must revolve around Jesus Christ, in the fact that the old is gone and our lives are made anew in Him.
What Lifestyle are you leading? Is Jesus a part of your life from waking till sleeping, from day begin to day end, from sunrise to sunset? Beloved, my prayer for you this day is that you remember that it is not you that live in Jesus, but rather the fact that Jesus lives in you. Jesus is not to be turned on and off like a light switch, but rather always kept in the on position. Only is this way can you truly be Christ's shining light to the world for all to see.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
