Romans 7: 4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.
============
After weeks of preparation, I was finally ready for the interview. I met with the hiring manager and he told me about the company but said something very strange. “Our group handles the porn that goes in the rooms, it’s a big seller.” Of course they made me an offer.
My first thought was to take the job. Maybe I won’t notice the porn or the fact that I would have access to it and this job pays really well. I knew deep in my heart what I had to do… I turned down the position.
- Belonging to GOD is sometimes difficult especially when temptations are placed in front of me.
- Belonging to GOD is sometimes hard especially when I’m tired and weary.
- Belonging to GOD is sometimes exasperating especially when I want “my” way, not HIS way.
The world will look at me like I’m crazy when I follow the one I belong to. HE says “Go to strange places and speak about MY SON.” HE also says, “Trust in ME when everyone doubts you.” BUT HE also said “I will never leave you.”
Bearing fruit is a lifelong process. Some days I bear a little and others a lot. GOD, through HIS mercy, has shown me what compassion really looks like. HE talks to me because I belong to HIM.
- I give up my will when I belong to GOD.
- I spend time with HIM when I belong to GOD.
- I do things differently when I belong to GOD.
GOD has some marvelous plans for me so I want to stick as close to HIM as possible!
- Are you living a life that is not pleasing to GOD?
- Do you think your “good” actions can clean your mess?
- Won’t you stop trying to be someone else and be what GOD wants you to be?
