Obedience

Obedience is: Doing what your told to do, when you're told to do it with the right attitude.
Obedience is walking in what God has called us to do even when we don't understand,
we do it without questioning Him. Obedience to God is one of the most important things
we should learn as followers of Jesus. If we can't obey Him, what makes us think that we
will be okay as we go about our daily lives? The choices we make builds habits and habits
build character and character builds who we are. The every moment-to-moment decisions
we make, make us into the person we will become. God even said that He desires obedience
more than sacrifice. He said, "Obedience is better than sacrifice..." When we do obey, it
is for our good and a lot of times it is a sacrifice just to do what He wants us to do. Life is not
easy-God never said it would be easy, but if we submit our life to Christ and build our lives
around Him and His will and purpose, then He can and will live through us and we can then
begin to live like Him...He is proud of us when we let Him live in and through us! He loves
that, He wants that to be! God loves it when we give Him control and grow in Him, when
we love Him with ALL that we are, not just bits and peices of our lives, but ALL of us!

2 Peter 1:5-11 talks about how if we add and build up our character and virtues in our lives
and if we grow in them, they will keep us from being ineffective or unfruitful in our faith in
Jesus Christ. Also, if we lack these qualities then we have become blind, but if we practice
these qualities (v. 10), then we will NEVER fall! We will then have an entrance into Heaven!
I notice and believe that it is very critical in our walks with Jesus that we grow in the fruit of
the Word of God, that we fall more madly in love with Jesus and let Him become our
All-in-All, our everything!

You and I can trust Him, it's true! God is our Father and Lover of our Soul, He is jelous
for us with a Godly jelous! He has promised us to one Husband-Christ! His love calls us
to higher places in Him, and that is where I want to be! I hope you do to!

~Obedience a lifestyle, love a commitment, unafraid-God living through me!~I made up this
