What an amazing difference.

Deuteronomy chapter 11 verses 13-15.
"And if you will carefully obey all of His commandments that I am going to give you today, and if you will love the Lord your God with all your hearts and souls, and will worship Him, then He will continue to send both the early and late rains that will produce wonderful crops of grain, grapes for your wine, and olive oil. He will give you lush pastureland for your cattle to graze in, and you yourselves shall have plenty to eat and be fully content."

Are you content with your life? God's promise is true for everyone. He is with those who love Him and obey His commandments.
   You have made the choice to let go of your old topsy turvey world of daily ups and downs. You have decided that there may be hope found in God, through Jesus Christ His Son. You can't help but notice the changes to your life. Everything seems to be coming together. You are being totally and utterly amazed. It even leaves you standing in awe. How could you have missed this?
   God has touched your life with Jesus. You find yourself in mercy, filled with love and joy. You are no longer alone. You are so thankful to God. You are flourishing. Your home life is better, your work life is going great and people like being around you. The challenges you face daily seem to have the right answers. No matter what you are faced with you seem to have the wisdom and knowledge and understanding to clearly see an outcome that everyone is pleased with.
   You know that it is not you who is doing this. It is God! And it is through Jesus that you walk daily with God. You can see this because of His blessings. And all because you have decided to follow His commandments. You are faithful to trusting in Him. You are thankful to Him and hold close to His guidance. Your past ways of following your own direction, was so hit and miss and would leave you frustrated. Others around you felt your frustration and it left you with an awful mess to try and find your way out of.
   There is a distinct difference in your life now and it can only be explained by your choice to follow Jesus and trust in God. So, all is going good for you, your joy is seen by others but do they know why you are so happy and content? Do you tell them it is because of God? Do you talk to them about Jesus? Your household is going smooth but what about theirs?
   God wants us to share our joy with others so that they too can have the opportunity to find their own ways into life with Him. Imagine a world where everyone worships and loves God. Imagine the joy at the blessings He could bestow. Imagine your community flourishing because they are following after His commandments. Imagine publicly reading His word. Imagine conversations with others who are expressing their joy for His love upon them.
   So your own life is going good. Start with your neighbor. Love them as you would love yourself. There is no need to shove God down their throat. You do not have to be bossy or pushy. You can start by being nice and being helpful. You can listen to them and show interest in what their lives are all about.
   You can let them know about your church. Maybe even invite them to share a meal or listen to the spoken message. You came to God with the intention of finding a better life. God heard your prayer and knew that you were real about your desire to seek Him. So, He blessed you and took you into His family. Now you are filled with the glory and joy of being His very own. You cannot contain that. It is your love for Him that you want everyone to have also.
   Everything about you reflects God and life with Jesus. You never know whom God will put into your path, that needs to hear about Jesus. You are prepared, humble and ready to listen with love and understanding. Jesus is working through you.
   Thank you Father for Jesus and Your welcoming open arms. 😊

1 Peter chapter 2 verses 9 and 10.
"But you are not like that, for you have been chosen by God Himself---you are priests of the King, you are holy and pure, you are God's very own---all this so that you may show others how God called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light. Once you were less than nothing; now you are God's own. Once you knew very little of God's kindness; now your very lives have been changed by it."

Philippians chapter 1 verse 6.
" And I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in His grace until His task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns."

Luke chapter 17 verses 15 and 16.
One of them came back to Jesus, shouting, "Glory to God, I'm healed!" He fell flat on the ground in front of Jesus, face down in the dust, thanking Him for what He had done.
