Live with a Christ centered focus. Set aside the selfish desires that hit everyone at times. Oneness with God is more than a heart change, it is lived out through our everyday lives, evident for all to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t be frustrated when people ridicule you for living a clean life. They\u2019re not necessarily trying to be mean; they just have not yet awakened to the mind of Christ and are therefore stuck in old ways of thinking. Just keep living love. Don\u2019t try to shove the Gospel message down their throat, just be the Gospel message. Be genuine love. Genuine love is compassionate. Step out of your comfort zone for someone else and don\u2019t complain when you\u2019re inconvenienced. Simply put, be yourself for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t get stressed out when pressures hit. We all go through times of pressures; it\u2019s what we do in those times that counts. Do we give in to the pressure or do we rejoice our way through the pressure? Make a choice to rejoice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like the way verse 19 is worded in The Passion Translation: So then, those who suffer for following God\u2019s will should enfold their lives into the Creator, who will never fail them, and continue to always do what is right.<\/em> I like how it says we should enfold our lives into the Creator. It gives a picture of mixing together as one, which makes me think of Jesus\u2019 statement, \u201cIf you\u2019ve seen Me, you\u2019ve seen the Father.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Live with a Christ centered focus.
