Hebrews 13:15-16
“Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased”
God is not impressed by fast cars and fancy clothing, what he desires is a faithful heart. When we share with others and treat our neighbors with kindness, we reflect the light of Christ into their lives. The Kingdom of God is not built on silver or gold, but with the selfless actions of his disciples. Whether it grows any bigger is up to us. ⭐
James 4:1-2
“What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.”
Envy can destroy a happy heart. How many friendships have been ruined because someone wanted what another had, or worse, thought they deserved it more? Stop looking at your neighbor with jealous eyes. Rather, look at your own life and try counting the blessings God has given you. ⭐
1 Timothy 6:18
“Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”
The Bible does not say, “They will know that we are Christians by our fancy houses and golden gates.” It says they will recognize us for our good works. Our Christian witness is worth more than any commercial product. What God offers is a life that is radically changed by his amazing grace, and that is what should set us apart in society. Try to live in such a way that when the world looks at you they don’t see a brand of clothing, they see a follower of Jesus. ⭐
