Status Update

I am sure you know of a social website where you can update your status. You can be available, busy, idle, and even invisible. What is your status with Christ? Are you busy, invisible, idle, or are you available to have a personal relationship with Him? Are you to busy with all the things and to do's of this world to have a personal relationship with the God Almighty? Are you hiding from Him because you want to remain in your sin? Have you just been idle, stuck at the same place never growing or learning about Christ just keeping the identification- Christian? Do you for go these built in statuses and make your own where you are the center of attention, it is all about you, and you get all the glory? Or are you available to cultivate, grow, and dive into the main facets and depths of our Savior, Lord, Hero, Helper, Healer, and Father?  Think about what your status is with Christ and then make your status about a constant transformation and dedication to loving, living, and moving closer to Christ. I want my status to be  permanently available- saying, I loves Jesus and am doing everything I can to be more like Him everyday. Don't you? Have a blessed week!

Shaken!

Acts 4:31 (New International Version)

 ³¹After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

Wow! Shouldn't this be what it is like for all of us who receive the Lord Jesus Christ into our lives? We should have a deep desire to courageously go out and spread the good news, blessings, and message of Christ. We should want to do nothing but tell of the truths of God and the sacrifice and gift of His Son, Jesus. Accepting Jesus Christ into our lives should shake the core of who we are, our lives, and the place we are at in that moment. Our old lives and practices should be shaken off and our new holy righteous skin in Christ should come forth. The foundation of the world that we used to stand firm on should be cracked and useless to allow the new foundation of Christ, His Word, and His glory to be built and used as a solid rock for where we will stand. If you have accepted Christ into your life and your life looks the same as before you asked Christ into your life....examine your heart, ask yourself who are you truly living for...yourself or Christ?...read the Word of God, the Holy Bible and learn how Jesus wants you to live....pray every second of the day about anything and everything so you can build a unique and loving relationship with Christ....go to church consistently so you can learn more about His Word and fellowship with others who can encourage you and help you grow in Christ....if you have been living for yourself and for the ways of the world and want to live for Christ, tell Him, dedicate your life to live for and love Jesus. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms, so run to Him, and live in the joy, love, and unending goodness of the Lord.
May God Bless you all!!!
