Do it with Love!

“Godliness guards the path of the blameless, but the evil are misled by sin.”
Proverbs 13:6 NLT
http://bible.com/116/pro.13.6.nlt

Lots of people I meet think they are blameless in almost everything. They don't tell lies, they do good to the poor, they're nice, friendly...
But did you know, all they do is in vain? 
😲 
I know! 
But how do you know? 
Let's read a bit of scripture: 
“If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.”
1 Corinthians 13:3 NLT
http://bible.com/116/1co.13.3.nlt
Wow. This is very strong. Someone could do as much good as possible and still be gaining nothing if they do not do it with love. Doing the dishes, giving people loans, giving someone a TV, if you don't do it with love it is the same as doing nothing. 
How do I love? 
It is only by the Holy Spirit that anyone can love. I've proved it many times: 
“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”
Galatians 5:22-23 NLT
http://bible.com/116/gal.5.22-23.nlt

See! Love is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, which means that only the Holy Spirit can provide it. Do it with love!

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
