Many times we think that we should only do things that make us happy, comfortable and satisfied. We do things in an effort to create some type of satisfaction or pleasure for ourselves. Even if we think that we are doing things that are not harming anyone, we may actually be harming our relationship with God. How? You feel as though your life feels complete every time you do the things you love to do. Then, you forget about the One who made your happiness possible. You forget about God and all the things he has done for you.
Instead of doing things for yourself, do things for God. He will see how much you love and appreciate Him if you do. Being born again in Christ is about showing your faith in God; therefore, show your faith in the One who sent his Son to die for you; follow His commandments.
When you feel like you are falling into temptation, ask for help because He will help you. We tend to do things that are not done for the glory of God, but for the glory of us. I am guilty of this. I was being self-centered and selfish, because not only was I disregarding my duties as a Christian, but I was also breaking some of his rules, which are to spread His love and His Word. I was faithful to Him, but I never actually walked in faith. I loved myself enough to do good things in the hopes of gaining acceptance into the kingdom of Heaven. However, I never really did anything to spread God’s message and wear it as a sign saying: I am God’s child. I learned that I need to walk in faith, so that other people can see and follow God’s way.
Nowadays people appreciate your kindness towards them, but what they actually need is healing. Sometimes people already have enough kind people in their lives. What many people need is healing, because the truth is, depression, anxiety and the feeling of loneliness can only be healed by a professional. God is the only professional; seek Him and you will find solace and healing. If you know Jesus and his power to save our souls, try to tell others of Him so that they can be saved. Submitting yourself as God’s servant and messenger will do more good to this world than you think.
