Scripture: John 13:38 Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? I tell you the truth, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times! <\/p>\n
Observation: Each morning I pray and ask for God\u2019s guidance and tell Him I want to live this day for Him and that He is worthy of all of my love, praise and obedience. Yet it doesn\u2019t take long before I judge someone, get angry, speak negatively about someone or act in a way that is in opposition to my claim to be a Christian. So when people see me to they see me as a disciple of Jesus or just another hypocrite? <\/p>\n
Application: I need to think before I act. Am I representing my Lord with this action or am I representing myself and my desires. Am I disowning my Savior with what I say or how I treat His children or am I guiding people through the love I show them in Jesus name? I have only one purpose to touch the lives of those around me for my Lord and I can only do it through the strength and wisdom He gives me so I must walk the way He walked.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord I do love you and want to fulfill the purpose you have given me, but I can\u2019t do it in my strength. Please be with me each day and guide me when I go off the path, so that others may see you through my actions and words so they will say, \u201cthis man must have been with Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
