It is very easy in our human character to become lazy and only do what it takes to get by. But since when are Christians to drift through life and not strive to make something better in everyday that we are given? Satan wants us to fall weak and complacent in our homes, in our work, in our relationships, and especially in the church to the point that we lose that fire in our first love that keeps us from moving forward. Love is not something we are to only share with our spouse or our children. Love is something that should be reflected with everyone we meet and in everything we do. When we learn to work for God instead of ourselves it is truly amazing at the joy we will find. Every time you get ready to do something ask yourself,” Am I doing this for what I will get out of this, or am I doing this for the glory of God?” When we quit looking at what we we will temporarily gain and learn to focus on the eternal rewards in Heaven above then we will begin to discover our purpose in life through Jesus Christ. All it takes is that first step out of the darkness into the light that you will begin to see like never before. I challenge  you today and every other day to do the work it takes to keep your love alive and do the best you can in everything you do… amen James Harrison / Servant http://balancedlifemininstry.org http://specialdeliverybook.com
