Читать книгу Our Higher Calling - Sherrell Byrd - Страница 10

What’s in a name? How important is it for you and me to have a good, wholesome reputation or a good name? It’s really very important, because you and I represent a Holy and Almighty God. There are a variety of ways to walk in the world, but a Holy walk and a walk of love is a requirement for those that live in the household of faith. But how should you walk? I’ve listed five of them for you:

Follow God as a child follows his or her father. In him they feel loved and secure.

Walk in love, knowing that we are using Jesus as our example. We are to imitate Him.

Avoid the unclean things of this sinful world.

Be thankful.

Live the life of a saint. After all, you represent God.

Created in His Image

I could have been a turtle,

But God knew I’d be too slow.

I could have been a horse,

But to that the Lord said no.

I could have been a tiger with lots of might and power,

Seeking out my prey at night, to which I would devour.

But God had other plans for me,

To this I must confess.

He said He would create a man,

Created in His likeness.

To men and women everywhere,

You could have been a limb.

But God above loved us so,

And made us just like Him.
