Response to Life

 


    How you respond to life declares who you are to the world.  If you are a hot head, then you are angry.  If you are anxious, then you are indecisive, unreliable, and unable to trust.  If you face life in faith, then you worship and praise God in the hard times.   You will live a righteous lifestyle full of peace.
    To fear God is not a bad thing.  It is reverence to His power and authority.  It is having awe for God.  It is not terror of what he may or may not do.  It all comes down to having a real relationship with Him that motivates you to be more like Jesus instead of living for only yourself.  No one will ever do it perfectly because it is something that none of us can fully grasp.
    Life needs to be protected.  It is holy and sacred.  To not honor life means death.  It means you have no value for life, so destroying life is an option.  Taking a life is abortion, murder, suicide, and hatred in your heart with the desire to destroy.  Guard your mind and heart, so you do not allow hate in.  Be patient and endure and you will be rewarded.
    What you do not see is that God is bigger than any problem, situation, or hard heart.  Nothing is more powerful than God.  You can change.  You just need to be open and teachable.  Allow God into your heart and see the value of your life, then other life.  You will see the truth and it will change you over time.
