Has there been evidence of a life change since following Christ?

Obedience matters.

Seeking & trusting His desires for your life matter. I pray when you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, people see a difference. That there is change in your life.

Deuteronomy 6: 3-6 NLT shares with us;

“Listen closely, Israel, and be careful to obey. Then all will go well with you, and you will have many children in the land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you. Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.”

I feel as Christians we ultimately have the desire to please God. I do believe there are still many good people striving to follow Jesus in the world – those wanting to honor Him and be obedient. Although, it’s not easy, and we fall short often. I myself am bound to fall short daily. I do pray that’s our goal though. With all of our heart, soul, and strength. Committing wholeheartedly.

What does it mean with all of our heart, soul, and strength?

With all.

We have to listen to His voice and be brave enough to keep believing in Him. We have to desire deep within us to obey with our desires and everything we are. Even when it doesn’t make sense in our little human nature mind. Even when it appears to be opposite of what the world is doing. Trust me, He will take care of you and honor your obedience. He will navigate your way and give you boldness through life changes. If we’re honest with our selves, which we always should be since He already knows our honest thoughts…we cannot accomplish and get to all the Lord has for us without obedience. We will miss out. Goodness, and what a miss that would be. What He has on the next page for you is everything more than what you could have wrote for yourself.

Today I pray you choose obedience. That you desire who He is, everything He has been, and all He will continue to be. Do it with all your heart, soul, and strength. Today I pray that I will listen to His voice more, and strive to be obedient to it. Lord have your way in myself, and all of us.

Our debt has been paid, and we shall obey.
