It is Easy

My words come easy, but to truly walk them out is another thing. It is so easy to say I know the decision to make, but when it comes down to it and the waiting it is not easy. We tend to say things without even knowing what we are saying. I am reminded of this daily as to not just say what first comes to mind, but to hold my tongue. It can't be about how I want to sound, but how I can shine the light of Jesus through me with how I am. It has to be about Jesus, not just 10% or even 75%, it has to be 110%. We need to put Him first in all we do and that isn't as easy as it may sound. I fail at this every day. 

This weekend I have been reminded that it is a choice every single day to put Him first. To show His love not His wrath. As I went to a hockey game on Friday there was a man in front of the Blue Cross Arena yelling at people, telling them they were all going to hell, preaching wrath and damnation. We are called to be as Jesus walked the earth, He did not come to the world to damn it, but to save it. He did not spit in the peoples faces that had hard lives or that had sinned, He loved them. When He preached it wasn't to the rich and the church leaders, it was to the poor, to the sinners, to the tax collectors, He loved on them, He showed them the grace that He had for them. It is not my place to judge someone, but to love them as God loves them. Pray for them as Jesus prayed for them.

It is one step at a time, one moment at a time and trusting that God will show us the way. It comes down to a choice, are you willing to make that choice today? Not just today, but every single moment of the day. Thank you for opening the doors you want me to walk down and closing the ones you want me to walk away from. Thank you for your faithfulness each moment for me.
