How does Jesus want you to live your life?

10/17/2021

This weekend I attended a Women’s Conference and one of the speakers was giving an illustration and God sent me down another way. With these two questions.

How do you see your life? How does the Lord want your life to be?

She gave the illustration of when women think about how they wished their life was, especially while doing the tasks that never seems to end; like washing dishes, picking up after the family, doing the laundry and cooking. Instead of doing all the work, she sometimes dreams of living a life where she lives in a large house with lots of servants at her beck and call to do all the tasks in her life.

As she was describing this wishful life, God gave me a vision of the lowest servant in that household going about her job of cleaning with a smile on her face and singing. The song she was singing was how happy she was since Jesus came into her life.

The Lord filled me with the knowledge of how this was the way He wanted His people to be. He wants us to live as if we the lowest of the low and still be praising Him all the time.

To God it matters not what type of life we live; it matters how we life that life. Yes, He wants us to live our lives with a smile on our face knowing that we are saved, and on our way to Heaven. He wants us to be an example that others might see Jesus in our lives. Where people will see all the hard things in our lives and wonder how can we be so happy with our lives. Then when they ask us; what makes us different, we can tell them the wonderful story of how living for Jesus makes all the difference.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for Your Saving Grace. You are the source of our joy. I ask you to help each person that reads this to reach out to You for the peace and joy that you, Lord Jesus bring into our lives. Help those who are struggling with the present in their lives and show them the way to have that peace and joy that only You can give. Amen
