I have been convicted by the Holy Spirit over the past couple of days. I am to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ here on this earth for as long as I live. He is my Lord. He is my boss. My home should resemble a heavenly embassy in which others can experience the kingdom that I am here to represent.
Do others see Jesus and desire to know more about His kingdom and how they can visit there by visiting my home or am I mis representing him and driving people away from Him or just to someplace else completely?
Scriptures say that out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. What is exiting my lips? What is in my heart? Do I desire to follow my Lord's instructions no matter what the cost out of honor and respect for Him?
It is so easy to make excuses... the scriptures really can't mean that... that must of been for the people back then... it can't really be for now... that is more than I can handle... God would never ask me to give that up... did God really mean that the way I am reading it, surely not... that is meant for the really sinful people not me, I am not that bad. Really these are all just fake escape clauses to make me feel better about how I am doing as a Christian... HA... hypocrite.
I really need to come to the point (If I was wise this would be A.S.A.P) where anything that God asks me to do I would respond with "yes my Lord" and act without delay! in my mind I know that this is where I want to be but my actions and words still lack.
God help our home be your embassy where your will is displayed and your name is honored without fail, where your wishes are carried out to the fullest without excuse. Help us all to be ambassadors worthy to be called so.
