If you claim the name of Jesus as your Savior, if you call His Father your God, if you have trusted Jesus’ redemptive work on the cross to be your reconciliation to God, then, you have a purpose in this life.  Above all, as His children we are to honor and glorify Him, and expand His kingdom by telling others about His salvation, reconciliation to the Father.  Now, the question is…do we live a life that makes others want to know our God?
I am convinced more and more0 that a life of plainness, lack of joy, bitterness, negativity and complaining do little to make people ask how they can know the God we serve.  Believers should have an underlying stability that dictates how we respond to circumstances in life’s journey.

1Pe 1:8  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

We should have a quiet peace, you know, that peace of God that passes all understanding?

Php 4:7  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I am challenged by early morning sleepless thoughts that bring me to a place of humble sadness.  If my day is spent wasting thoughts on things I cannot change in this life, and my words are full of complaint about things that aren’t right with my world, am I really fulfilling my duty to God and my fellowman?  Am I a good witness to our loving and merciful God when I have nothing good to say about His vast and abundant provision for my good and His glory?  Oh, my.  The depths of that sting of sorrow that I have dishonored the very One Who has given me eternal Life by not being overflowing with His joy, awed with His goodness, eager to share His mercy and grace.

As believers we should be quicker to detail the goodness of God, His Truth and His Gospel, to a spiritually dead world, than we are to bemoan the evils of this world. Otherwise, our lives are no different than those to whom God is yet a stranger.  Who would want our God, unless we tell Who He is and what He does?
