Imagine a child coming to you and asking; "please tell me when I grow up how can I have good life?" What would you say to mentor that child?
Apostle Paul gave a wonderful guide in Romans 12:9-21. We can surely say this is the manuscript of a christian life that IS a good life. How many can you tick off as yes I do or yes I am.
Let love be without hypocrisy,
Abhor what is evil,
Cling to what is good,
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love,
In honor giving preference to one another,
Not lagging in diligence,
Fervent in spirit,
Serving the Lord;
Rejoicing in hope,
Patient in tribulation,
Continuing steadfastly in prayer;
Distributing to the needs of the saints,
Given to hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you;
Bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
Be of the same mind toward one another.
Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble.
Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil.
Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
A tall order worth reflecting on eh?
#Prayer for Today
Almighty Father, in
the name of Yeshua Jesus, give me the grace to live such good life. Amen
I pray this inspires you to be more and do more for Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ).
