The first phrase in 1 John 4:6 says, "We are of God." This challenged me. Am I truly of God? Do my actions prove that I am a child of God. Is my life a living testimony that God is in control? Can people around me tell that I am "of God?" Is my life a witness to the world around me? I want to become more like God. I want to obey Him and keep in touch with Him. I want to be controlled by His Spirit. Am I really "of God?"
Lord, help me to live my life just as you would have me to. Help me to remember what is truly important in life. Help me not to become sucked in with the mundane things in life. Help me to keep my focus on heaven. Help me not to become attached to this earth. Help me to use Your blessings to lay up treasure in heaven and not to hoard for myself here below. Help me to be generous with all you've given to me. Help me not to be selfish. Help me to remember that everything You have given me is not really mine, but Yours. Help me to treat them that way. Help me to live so that at the great judgment day, You can say that I truly lived my life for You.
