walking the walk

I want people to know me for walking the walk not just talking the talk. I desire to fulfill the call of God on my life but in order to do that I have to align myself with His word. Even in difficult times and situation I must obey His words. If you desire to walk out your calling I encourage you to follow His commands. Not just the ones you like, or the easy ones but all of them. The hardest one is to love your enemy. Our human nature wants to do the opposite but we have to learn to train our flesh not to react. I promise I have had to do this and when you seek God with everything in you some how this isn’t so hard. I look back now and think how wonderful God is that I truly love those who have hurt me and I have no hidden agenda but to love and pray for them.
Luke 6
27-30“To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.
