Living a Good Life....

Are you living a good life? When I say good, are you saved? Are you inwardly good as well as outwardly good? When I say outwardly good, I mean you do good deeds, you help others, but how are you on the inside ... in the depths of your soul?? Do you belong to Jesus Christ, do you submit to him ? Is he first in your life? When the going gets tough do you reach out to him or other things? Do you put Him on a shelf along with your Bible and just pull him out when you need him?

“‘The stone the builders rejected

    has become the cornerstone;

11 the Lord has done this,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes" 
(Mark 12:11)


It's a great story, how Jesus uses a parable to explain the hearts of mankind. (Mark 12:1-10)
It's even relatable to his own story..... 

What about your story? Where does he fit in it? Is he just part of your story or is he the lead actor?

During this Easter season and time of reflection on Jesus Christ, are you living for him or rejecting him?

Are you living a life that looks good, but inside you are rejecting God? 

We reject him every day when we make concessions, and do not allow him to saturate our whole being. 
We reject him when we fail to worship him. We reject him when we put him aside and on a shelf until we need him. We reject him when we reject mankind... our neighbor, our family.... 
We reject him when we fail to recognize our one goal in life is to love..... to show love, to care, to help, to serve.....

The stone that the builders rejected is the Chief Cornerstone .. and He wants you to come as you are. It does not matter where you have come from,or where you are ...but He wants you now...

I want to ask you again, where is He in your story? on a shelf? or in your life daily?

Make a choice today to live for him whole heartedly Today !!!
