You are free, but still you are God's servants, and you must not use your freedom as an excuse for doing wrong. 1 Peter 2:16
_how you live your life today is a lived to someone else's eyes. you maybe a parent, and your life is being watch and recorded by your children. a teacher maybe, you are being watched and observed by your students. or maybe just an "ordinary" citizen living a simple life but being looked up to by those you didn't know they're looking at you. how you live your life today is a life lived to someone else's eyes.
_i was stunned when i came back to our province during summer vacation on how our young people had looked on us, who were ahead of them as someone who they want to be in service of our God. i was touched when they individually enumerated how we touched their lives and contributed in their being, not just a Christian but as a person too. it was so unconscious and not intended but we are a film watched and observed.
_Christians, we are free. we can do anything we want, doing it our way, out time. but we, when we accepted Christ and heed His call to be one in Him, we had made a commitment to use the freedom we had to do good things and good things alone. not just that, doing good things in the wrong time and place is a wrong thing done. there are right things to be done the right way. yet there are some that are to be done the appropriate way to make the right thing bear better results.
_how do we do right things when doing it requires a lot of right's to be right. it is by being a servant of God, waiting, listening and obeying what He says the makes our right things to be perfect things done. obedience is obedience when done at the moment it was told to be done. partial and delayed obedience are the same as disobedience.
_look behind you, what kind of "lifeprints" do you leave behind??
