Galatians 4:12b-16 12b You did not mistreat me when I first preached to you. 13 Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News of Christ. 14 But even though my sickness was revolting to you, you did not reject me and turn me away. No, you took me in and cared for me as though I were an angel from God or even Christ Jesus himself. 15 Where is that joyful spirit we felt together then? In those days, I know you would gladly have taken out your own eyes and given them to me if it had been possible. 16 Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth? (NLT) We always need to hear the truth even when it hurts. Scripture is the truth and sometimes it is hard to take but we must read it and we must hear it. It is we who need to change not God or His Word. We are not to change or take out of context the Word of God just because we don’t like what it says. God is right and we are wrong. He created not us. We were placed to live in His creation and we are to play by His rules. Problems come because we created them outside of God’s design. But when we live according to His word and His design the problems seem to go away. Follow Christ’s perfect example. Where is your joy and peace? Have you forgotten the love of God? How willing are you to live for others? Christ did for other unto death, are you willing to do the same? Jesus is our example. We need to treat others as we want to be treated. We are to treat others as though they are Christ Jesus Himself, which is our standard. It not about us it is about Jesus. Pray that God will continue to change you, guide you and make you more like Jesus every day. Give of yourself as Christ has given of Himself to you. May God be praised and glorified through your life in Christ. Sponsored by Men’s Ministry Our Mission is to Lead Men into a Growing Relationship with Jesus Christ
