TRUE OBEDIENCE IS ROOTED IN LOVE. Life can be cruel, it can also choose to be impartial and often times life is so unforgiving! Some of us often find life to be easily tough and very hard, especially if we are busy pleasing everyone else or busy trying to conform to the patterns and fashions of this world. If this is your case, life will always appear unfortunate to you. No wonder the apostle Paul urges in the book of Romans 12:1 & 2 “I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to (the patterns of ) this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” True obedience starts in the mind. It’s the everyday steps you take to better up your life that determine how obedient you are. It is your everyday steps of obedience which are always sourced from your heart precisely when your heart is filled with love. In other words true obedience is rooted in love. “Abraham OBEYED when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out not knowing where he was going.” No wonder Jehoshaphat the king of Judah referred to Abraham as a friend of God forever. His obedience to God was rooted in love because Abraham had Faith in God. Let us ask ourselves a few rhetorical questions. – How do you present yourself before you step into your God-given day in the morning? With pride or humility? – To whom do you present yourself in the morning? To God or you rush to make money? – When or what time do you present yourself, before you start your day or after? – Do you present yourself before you start your day or not? Again, the everyday steps you take determine your level of obedience AND IT EQUALLY MATTERS WHO YOU OBEY!~ You can not enjoy living a sinful life then at the same time keep expecting to enjoy God’s divine blessings. God is not mocked. What you sow is what you reap and the wages of sin is death. Unless you choose to be obedient to God and OBEY His word only then can you expect to enjoy the gift of God, which is Life. Purpose to live your life fully obeying God and pleasing Him always and not pleasing people. Let every step you make in your life be a step of Faith in God. Have Faith in God for without Faith it is impossible to please God. He Is Who He says He Is. https://christinekimaita.fashion.blog/2020/01/29/i-thought-my-marriage-was-finished/#
