We belong to Christ. When we say we are His we must walk just like Christ did. (I John 2:6) Christ’s mission was simple. Christ was to do the will of God who sent Him. (John 6:38) Therefore our mission is the same. We were created in Christ for good works. We must work. (Eph. 2:10) If we work and follow Jesus’ commands we will abide in His love. (John 15:10) That is the most wonderful place in this world to be. That is the only place we can receive the promises of God. Do not be like the religious zealots of the New Testament time. They said much and did little. (Matt. 23:3) Be the one who peers into the perfect Law of Liberty and acts. You will be blessed for it. (James 1:25)
Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day until you think on what God considers lovely. Then dwell on those things. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.
