God Colors

It is much easier to fit in with the world around us than it is to stand out and live differently as Jesus called us to do.  But as true disciples of Christ we know that our lives will be more blessed when we follow His instructions. The lifestyle that Jesus described in the Sermon on the Mount is the complete opposite of what is accepted and expected in the world we live in.

Jesus began His message by saying, “You have heard it said”….. and then added, “But I say.”  He made it very clear that His ways are not the world’s ways and His instructions for His followers will be radically different from world views, which will make us stand out as beacons of hope and light to others.

Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.  Matthew 5:14

We are to be light, bringing out the God colors in the world! The real colors of fun, joy, and love are found in God alone. When we live radically different from the world the light of Christ will shine and others will take notice.

Godly character adds color to our lives and each fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) that is displayed in our lives has the power to brighten not just our path, but the lives and paths of others.

As Daughter’s of The King our lives are on display for all to see. Are you living in black and white or are the colors of God’s character revealing the light and life that dwells within you? Is your personal relationship with Christ a beautiful scene that others would want to experience for themselves?
