Thoughtful Question to Start:
Are you a Christian?
Scripture Reading:
"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
- James 2:17 (NIV)
A friend of mine once told me, "It's easy to say that I am a Christian, but it's hard to be a Christian". This sentence has always been with me in my spiritual path. While it's important to accept Jesus in our lives, we also have to choose to let Him work in us by taking action for Him.
Faith is not just a belief, but an active response to God's love and truth. When our actions are aligned with our faith, we glorify Him by influencing others to do the same. James 2:17 reminds us that faith without action is dead. Our faith guides us to live in a way that honors God and serves others.
Living out our faith requires intentionality and a heart that seeks to please God. By actively doing it, we don't only strengthen our relationship with God but also become a witness of His love to those around us. Though it's hard at times, may His grace and mercy every morning reminds us of His unconditional love. The love that asks nothing in return. The love that carries us when we are weak. The love that is always with us in every season of our lives. The love that sustains us.
