Devotees of Christ, Paul urges us to teach all men about the life of Christ. Too many of us are selfish, willing to quietly believe and not get our hands dirty in attempts to make others believe. Paul got his hands dirty and ended up paying with his life. Do you think he regrets any of it now that he is sitting in heaven with God?
And we pray:
Lord in Heaven, I must honor Your commandments and join You in the afterlife. I have been silent too often, Abba Father, unwilling to discuss my faith with You for fear of alienating others or for sounding arrogant. Why would I not share the most precious Loving relationship that I have ever known? I am certainly a fool, forgive me. Today, with this prayer, I ask myself and You, powerful God, to aid me in my journey, and I hope that I can aid others in theirs, on our quest for everlasting life. Amen.
