Make Your Love Known For God

Never be afraid to show the public that you love God and are making every effort to follow Him and not the world. A lot of people are afraid of what other s will think of them when people find out that you like to live for Jesus's teachings. You might worry about what others will think or say about you. Don't worry about that.  To be counter cultural is better than going with which ever way the wind blows and what ever fad it in fashion for that week. That type of life leads to unhappiness and unfulfilled. Its gets boring and then your heart becomes wrestles. Why is this? Because you and I were made by God to love Him and serve Him. Once you throw Him out of your life dissatisfaction sets in no matter what you do. You can trick yourself into thinking you are happy with your life but deep down you really are not. There is something that is wrestles that is going on deep down. That is because in your heart God has written His Divine Law in your heart. Open yourself up to His love and law and all things will fall into place and you no longer will have a darkness hovering over you. St. Francis was not afraid to change his life in a dramatic way. People made fun of him but he was not ashamed  by that nor did he ever think of giving up and going back to his old self. He had the courage to go against how the world thought he should live because he knew that God loved him and that he truly loved God and he knew God would never leave him to himself. For myself I don't let others talk me out of loving God and being counter cultural. If I get made fun of sure it hurts but it would never make me change  the fact that I would rather live for God and not the world. All that the world hold in esteem  is counter to God and for me draws no interest. Living for God and showing other that I am not embarrassed to mention His name or talk about Him may just help someone else to rethink of the direction they are heading in. We need to be courageous in this time to show that we are not part of the world nor do we bow down to it. Living for God and His truth is and should not be something you need to or think you should hide. Or only show it in you home or in Church. You should live it all day every day and every where you go. Be a courageous witness for God and show others that you belong to Him. He will give you the strength to help you endure what others may throw at you. If it be insults or threats or maybe just being made fun of, God will see you through it. There is nothing shameful in loving God and making it known. God love you no matter what. We should be able to do the same and it should come easy. The love that is shared between you and God is stronger and more meaningful than the love you could ever share with any fellow human being. There is nothing wrong with loving some one but yous and my first love should be God. Love God and be eager to make it know that you belong to Him. Peace T
