How often people joke with those trying to live radical lives for Christ. i have both experienced it first hand and counseled many who encounter ridicule for their beliefs and for living the extreme. It is so easy to say we believe and quote the Word, but living it is an entirely different thing.
i want to encourage all those who often feel small because of the cutting words and actions of others. Those who are choosing to be pure....choosing to obey God's Commandments...choosing to live chaste....i love this Scripture from Philippians! It is what we all should aspire to. And we should never have to defend doing the right thing.
Phil 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
TRUE, HONORABLE, JUST, PURE, LOVELY, GRACIOUS, EXCELLENCE, WORTHY OF PRAISE...Many call this being a 'nerd'...God calls it a saint in the making!....Chase God and His Ways....His Principles....and watch the miracles in your life unfold. And let's take inventory to see if we are compromising in any areas of our lives that need to be changed to please God!
i am very proud of all who continue to stand up to family, friends and anyone else to follow the Calling of God!
Aspire to be different...aspire to be holy....aspire to emulate Jesus....aspire to obey God...and the reward will be 'OUT OF THIS WORLD'....
til next time....let's read Phil 4 in its entirety! God bless, ang
