I realize what's important. Do you ever have those moments friends? When you look at what God is doing and think "Yeah, I get it."
My husband had the privileged of baptizing a dear friend. Minutes after he was baptized, he baptized his son. We have been praying for him and his family and praying that God will continue to work through them. Praying for his precious wife and their day to day interactions with others.
You see this family understands the transforming power of Jesus and does not keep it to themselves. They actively serve in the church but also have people into their home for meals or host Bible studies. They tell those who have never met Christ about Him and the depth of His love for them. They meet needs, fix meals, love the forgotten, and live for Jesus in the day to day. They have created a lifestyle of worship and God is blessing them with opportunities to lead, minister, and serve.
I realize what's important friends. Seizing each opportunity God gives you to glorify Him. Intentionally looking now at your relationships and daily living to meet the needs of others and show others the joy that comes from living like Jesus.
What does living like Christ look like for you today? Maybe it's an encouraging text or a ride to the store. A surprise Sonic drink delivered with love or maybe it's a long overdue conversation. Whatever being intentional looks like for you today, I'm praying He will show you.
My friendship with this sweet family is a reminder of why God calls us to share community with others. To me, they are a reminder of why the church is so important and why God calls us to meet with each other often and celebrate and worship together. You see my friends we need Godly relationships to challenge us, serve along side us, and celebrate with us as we try daily to live as Christ has called us to live. If you are not active in your local church, you are missing out on what God has created for you here on earth until His return.
A good friend said it best, "Our relationship with Jesus is personal but not private." I realize what's important friends. Seize the opportunities in the day to day and build relationships with those around you. Celebrate what God is doing, love those around you, meet needs, and celebrate more!
Live radically, love relentlessly, build relationally, share generously, worship truthfully.
Life is short let's start living it. Be intentional in your day to day and start living a life that celebrates!
