Aug 23.99: Light For The Day - "Obeying God"

"I have obeyed my Father's commands,
and I remain in his love. In the same way. 
If you obey my commands, you will remain
in my love. I have told you these things so
that you can have the same joy I have and 
so that your joy will be the fullest possible joy."
-- John 15:10-11 (NCV)

--------------------
Compared to Gods part, our part is minuscule
but necessary. We don't have to do much,
but we do have to do something.

Write a letter.
Ask forgiveness.
Call a counselor.
Confess.
Call mom.
Visit a friend.
Be baptized.
Feed a hungry person.
Pray.
Go to church.
Teach.
Go.
..........

Do something that demonstrates faith.
For faith with no effort is no faith at all.

--- Max Lucado

Prayer:
Father, your love compels us to do what we
never thought we could do and go to heights
we never thought we could reach. 
We step out in faith to be obedient to you!

-----------------

"If you love me, 
you will keep my commandments."
-- John 14:15 (RSV)
