REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS

 Being a child of God means representing Christ by showing his goodness and mercy. Jesus revealed true attribute to our Father, so we are to reveal Christ to the world that doesn’t know his love. Apostle Paul said 2nd Cor 3:3-2 “you yourselves are the letter we have written on our hearts for everyone to know and read”. If you are Christ follower, Jesus’s dwelling in you, desires to speak to the hearts of those who are acquainted with him. It might be they do not read the word of God or maybe they read and do not hear the voices that speaks to them in the scriptures; they do not see the love of God through his work. If you are a good representative to Jesus those soul that are acquainted will understand something of his goodness and be won to love and serve God.
Christians are a light bearer on the way to heaven. They reflect the light shining upon them which comes from God in the world. Their characters and traits should be through them others will get a right conception of Christ and of His service. If we Christians represent Christ well in the world, we will make his service attractive as it really is. Christians who have sad soul, murmur and complain gives bad representation of God in Christianity theorem. The impression that come to mind is that God is not pleased to see his children happy and, in this case, they bare false witness about our Heavenly Father. It is not wise to gather unpleasant recollections of a past-it is iniquities and disappointments to talk over them and mourn, we are over carried by discouragement. A discouraged soul is filled with darkness which shut out the light of God from His soul and start casting a shadow upon the pathway of others.
When we doubt the love of God and we seem not to trust his promises we dishonor Him and grieve His Holy spirit, if we take an example, how can a mother feel if her children are always complaining of her as if she doesn’t mean them well when her whole family is toward their interests and give them comfort, suppose these children doubt her love; this will definitely break her heart. The same case how our Heavenly Father regard us when we distrust His love which has led him to give his only son, john3:16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life” God delivered his only son to us because He loved us. For every word of doubt, you utter is inviting Satan temptations; its strengthening in your tendency to doubt and is guilting you from the ministering angels. Angels always listen the report you give to about God.
All of us go through trials, griefs that are hard to handle, temptations that are hard to resist, do not tell your troubles to your fellow mortals but carry all to God in prayers. Make it a law to never utter a word of discouragement. You can do much to brighten the life of others and strengthen their good work by a word of hope and holy cheer. Let’s praise to God be on your lips and in your heart despite what you are going through.
BE GOD REPRESENTATIVE IN THE WORLD.
