Oh things have become so muddled and fuzzy amongst Christians...so lukewarm. I am sure that it grieves the Lord.<BR/>I know I sure have areas to work on.<BR/>Deby~~Debyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288057520112643825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5017678746327177641.post-15080784294729824252009-02-06T23:47:00.000-05:002009-02-06T23:47:00.000-05:00happyreagan77...thank you so much for stopping by....happyreagan77...thank you so much for stopping by. Thank you also for leaving your comment. You are so right about being a light to this lost world. I also work and God uses me often to be a light and a witness to my co-workers. I'm always telling them to smile if they aren't...and it has allowed me to be able to tell them that I have much to smile about when they ask me. <BR/><BR/>Thank the Lord for the simple ways He chooses to use us to be a light to the lost.<BR/><BR/>Thank you again for your comment. I hope you come back here again.Sis.

They try to pick up practices that should never be associated with God's children. It's very clear in His word that we can't disobey His commandments just to fit in!<BR/><BR/>Another thing that Christians sometimes forget is that, while living different lives, we are still living in the world. We won't be able to be completely separate in every walk of life. That is why God commands us to be lights.. letting the light and love of Jesus shine through us in every action! Our attitudes (cheerfulness, being filled with the spirit, and contentment) can make more of a statement of our difference than anything else. <BR/><BR/>For example, I am not separated from non-believers in the sense I work with them, and serve customers daily at a pharmacy. However, my co-workers are constantly asking me why I'm always so smiley and cheerful. It gives me a great opportunity to share what's DIFFERENT about my life! :) It's great to be different in the right way! :) God has given me many chances to share how He can change a life. And for that.. I smile even more!! :)happyreagan77https://www.blogger.com/profile/11803440078802925931noreply@blogger.com
