Energetic

Today think about being energetic. Think about being energetic in goodness. I love this phrase from the book of Titus.

God's readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation's available for everyone! We're being shown how to turn our backs on a godless, indulgent life, and how to take on a God-filled, God-honoring life. This new life is starting right now, and is whetting our appetites for the glorious day when our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, appears. He offered himself as a sacrifice to free us from a dark, rebellious life into this good, pure life, making us a people he can be proud of, energetic in goodness. Titus 2:11-14

I love the phrase because it concludes this passage that is reminding us that God is available to everyone! If God is available to everyone then we can spend our lives in goodness - showing love, kindness, compassion, seeing the beauty and God in everyone - to help them see and know God. It is so hard at times to not be selfish, it is so subtle, but God came to us and show us how this works. Christ show us how to be loving and kind in our actions. Christ showed us how to not be selfish, yet allow people to choose their own path.

God is always ready to give and to forgive, is that really public knowledge today? I do not think it is when we as Christ followers are not acting in energetic goodness. People do not see God as giving and forgiving, they see God as judgmental, angry, and selfish. They probably think what I have thought before - "If that is Christianity I do not want any part of it." Tell everyone by your life that God is a giver and a forgiver. Be energetic in your love, your kindness, your humility, and in your care for others. Love people so much that you can allow them to make their own decisions, yet be there for them if they come back needing help. Do not be attached to the outcome of your actions. Do not worry if someone will make the decisions you want them to make because your are energetic in doing good. Just do good and allow God to work as God will. Detach from the need to have a certian outcome and just trust. Be energetic in goodness and that is all. This will be for your deliverance!
