What Is In Your Heart Today?
March 19, 2013 - Romans 12
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully (or should I say prayerfully and
carefully), continue our Feast in Romans 12. Because as saints called by Jesus
and justified by faith we are to dedicate ourselves to God. We do not run around
and point out to others how humbly, and faithfully we use our spiritual
gifts, in our service to Jesus. There
is no need to point out our duties as Saints; our very actions will highlight
our calling. We are called to
peaceable service to all men, with patience and compassion by our Lord Jesus.
“19 Beloved,
never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written,
“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if
your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to
drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be
overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Romans 12:19-21, English Standard Version (ESV). With this entire thought in mind we must
ask ourselves what is our motivation for sharing Jesus’ love? Do I share with my enemies to clobber them
or because I really want them to become Saints, sealed with the peace that
passes understanding by the Holy Spirit.
Are we sharing because the love of God fills our hearts? We can
be sure God knows our hearts. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against
such things there is no law.” Galatians
5:22-23 ESV. Look at your life
in relationship to Jesus. Because the Holy
Spirit motivates us; we should see these things in our very lives; love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control! Never forget God knows our hearts and
motivations.
