God is love. God is truth. God is the path of righteousness. He will guide you through this life. He does not promise it to be easy; for some it will be a very hard road but he promises never to leave nor forsake us. People think choosing to live a life as a Christian is "playing it safe" but I beg to differ. Have they read the stories of men losing their very life for their faith or being imprisoned for stating their beliefs? Living a holy life in this unforsaken world is very difficult. To be the light and to be the love when you are surrounded by hate, deceit and despair is what God needs from us and it is what we are called to be. We are not to act special or think we are more important therefore there is no place for pretentiousness for it repels, not attracts. Simply share the gospel for there are so many that are hurting. Lost jobs, broken marriages, mourning a loved one, division in families, losing one's home.....we need to tell them there is hope in Christ Jesus. He can restore and renew anything no matter how it looks to their secular eye. God can save a home, a marriage, a friendship..nothing is impossible with Him. We must encourage and let them know the God we know can do anything. Be a soldier for God. Be the walking testimony at your workplace so those can see the power of God in you. Just live out the purpose for your life which is to share God with the lost and show them He is the only way!
Psalm 37
