1 Corinthians 1 explains it so well. The whole chapter explains how to pursue the Lord, how to depend on the Lord, how to comfort in the Lord, and then how to share to others about the Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:7, "And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings so also you share in our comfort."
The Lord wants us to stand firm in him because when we feel distressed then we should rely on him and when we feel comfort, we should also feel comfort through the Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:24, "...but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm."
To live the christian life, we should stand firm in our faith and rejoice the Lord in everything we do and it should not be a burden to wake up living for the Lord but it should be an enjoyment. You should enjoy and love the life you are living because you are living for a purpose and that is to be a servant of the Lord.
For, what you think about. is what you care about. and what you care about. is what you will chase after.
So surround yourself with Him and chase after Him and live for Him because when you live the life you love for Him then you will love the life you live because you are being a servant for the Lord Jesus Christ and that is truly amazing.
My friend Kyndall asked me a couple months ago, "Jenny, how are you going to keep your life on the right path and keep this going. How are you not going to go back? How do you know that you are not going to just go back to your old ways?"
At the time all I could say is that I just know but yesterday I was able to answer her.
I know I will not go back to my old ways because they are not filled with joy, happiness, passion, purity, love. I know I will not go back to my old ways because I have finally found the enjoyment with my relationship with the Lord. Back then I saw as reading my bible or doing my daily devotion as a burden and not fun. But now, thats what I enjoy to do. It is not a question of when do I need to talk to the Lord today because I want to talk to my best friend, Jesus every second I get. He is awesome and when I wake up, I pray that I can glorify him in everything I do.
That is the difference of my life now then what it was.
Back then the Lord was still second and Me and all the other stuff I wanted to do was first.
But NOW the Lord is first, the Lord is my focus and I come second.
That is how as christians we should be living. We should be living for the Lord and being a servant and disciple for Him.
So remember through Christ, live the life you love and love the life you live.
With Love,
Jenny
