God's word gives us specific instruction about how to live. If you love me keep my commandments. John Ch. 15 vs. 7 "If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done." As God's children we are called to be his disciples, and to let his love shine to those who are lost that they might come to know him as their personal Savior.
As Christians it is important that we are prayed up and filled up with the holy spirit, so that when trials and hardships come, others would see Christ in us and not our human weaknesses. If we are the same as the world, Christ's light is hidden or even put out. Usually it is how we handle our hardships and pain that is our greatest witness for something bigger than ourselves that lives within us, that ultimately draws others to him.
Romans Chapter 12 gives specific instruction of how to handle ourselves as Christians and to walk according to Christ and not the world, blessing those that persecute us and cursing not. Rejoicing with those that rejoice and weeping with those that weep. Patient in tribulation, continuing always in prayer, providing all things honest in the sight of all men.
May we all remember the children's song of "This Little Light of Mine" and shine bright today.
Romans Ch 15. vs. 13 " Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."
