What are you living?

Titus 1:6
Such people claim they know God, but they deny Him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for anything good.


This is a pretty bold statement. Again and again I have read verses that talk about the way that we live. Our everyday lives are to be a reflection of Him. It can be quite an overwhelming task to think about...getting our lives to SHOW that we know God in every area. We all deal with "stuff" and each day of our lives we will continually have more to improve on.

1 John 2:6 Those who say they live in God, should live their lives as Jesus did.

How are we supposed to live? Like Jesus; we are to take on His passion, His heart, and be His hands and feet in our world.

I just want to focus on one area that I know we all can improve on:

Matthew 20:28 For even the Son of Man came not be served, but to serve others and give His life as a ransom for many.

Jesus served people.
Each of us have many opportunities in just one day to serve others, even in the little things. Serving can be difficult; it gives without expecting to receive anything in return. Jesus represented the heart of a true servant. If we want to truly live like Him we also have to take on the heart of a servant.

Who can we serve this day? What can we do to help someone else? Without wanting anything in return, but simply just to bless them.

I know I have missed it in this area many times. There have been lots of moments where I am so focused on my own needs and goals that I forget that I am truly here for something greater than myself. Living for myself is something way too small to live for. It is when I begin to take on His purpose and heart that I find true fulfillment.

Father I ask that you would help us to be servants. Show us the needs around us, and give us the compassion to do something about those needs. Teach us how to serve. We want to be Your hands and feet. Help us to live in a way that brings glory to You.
