While reading through the second part of this book for class I was feeling tired and like I wanted to be done, but then He mentioned Galatians 5 and at first I just kind of skimmed over it. I kept reading but I kept thinking about Galatians 5 and how I want to look up the whole chapter and read it again and I am so glad I did. At the end of verse six it says "The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love". If I challenged myself to living out this chapter everyday my life would look drastically different in a good way. Then the chapter ends by saying "Since we live by the Spirit. let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." I don't even realize when these qualities slip into my everyday life but I want to be careful of this. I am the kind of person who feels things very deeply and am affected by however I start my day so If I challenged myself with these couple verses in the morning I think I would see a great change in my life. Hopefully This encouraged you to do the same. REMEMBER!! "The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love" :)

I love that we were on the same page when first starting to read this section and that for both of us, God pricked out ears in sections that we both needed to hear. The thought of my life being so drastically different just by a making the choice daily to express my faith through love is astounding. Thanks for the reminder and the excerpt of that awesome quote! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great reminder! I think we over look this and don't always keep a concious eye for opportunities to live this out! I think this is a great challenge and way to see how God can use us. Reading this, was just an over all great reminder and challenge for me! Thanks!
