Jesus' disciples found that choosing to follow Him resulted in trials and hard times coming upon them. It's no different today: the more we choose to serve God, the more we will encounter troubles for our beliefs. Take heart and stay the course, for the blessings of God for obediance to Him are unlimited!

It's one of the fundamental concepts in the Bible: to obey God and live our lives according to His instructions, or to live according to our own desires. Today the norm of the world is to live according to fleshly, ungodly desires. If we live Godly lives, then, we may be seen as radical. Not violent or out of order, but strange, odd, and peculiar. Do you want to be different? Do you want to live for God and share in His blessings? Live a radical life for God!

What an awesome love God has for all of us! God wants us to experience His love and have a relationship with Him, and He wants us to share that with everyone else. We often see the negatives in others and ourselves as well; we often feel that we need to address the problems in other people's lives so they can have a "right" relationship with God. All we have to do, however, is just to love them and let God mend the hearts of others ... and us too.

God has a plan and a purpose for each one of us. We often make our own plans for our life, but only when we line that up with God's plan do we see a blessing and have peace in our mind. Seek Him out and put your life to serving Him!

When we first understand the depth of God's love for us, when we come to the understanding that all of our past is laid at the Cross, and when we understand that we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, we find this a very relieving and exciting time in our lives. We are on fire to serve the Kingdom. Too quickly, though, our interests get distracted from those things that are good and worthy, and we find ourselves back in some of the same mess we were in before. If you feel you've lost your love for the Father, if the things of the world pique your interest more than those of the Kingdom, or if you feel God's blessing and favor are absent in your life, then it's time to turn back to God and come back to the Father's house. Get your heart on God and keep your focus on Him!
