Love

I was reading about Judas Iscariot the other day..even though he was one of Jesus' disciples and walking with Him every day, he didn't truly love Jesus. As he walked with Jesus, he was treating people bad and stealing their money. It just goes to show how we can follow along with God and His people and yet still not be a true follower. Judas heard everything Jesus had to say but he never applied it.. We have got to be intentional when it comes to our relationship with God...pushing through laziness, making time when we don't have it, and struggling through and working hard on applying the things that the Holy Spirit is telling us to in order to be more like Jesus. Not for us, not for the people around us, but for God so that the work He has in store for us can take place.. Let's not walk along the path like Judas did, but let's do the things that are difficult in order to increase our faith and build upon our character. We should be decreasing each day and letting Jesus increase. Can we do what we need to do to let the work happen in our hearts? Do your friends see you progressing and reflecting the Lord more each time they se you?

Joshua 23: 9-14
