Sometimes we quickly read the verses in Romans 12 that talk about being a living sacrifice. Because being a sacrifice is not fun. Then it is not easy to find joy in Christ when it is painful to follow Him.

If the distractions of this world or the worries of the present time have diverted us a little from God, and if our love for Him is no longer as passionate, the solution is simple. All we have to do is invite Jesus to dinner!

That is probably the greatest fear of Christian singles and the dominant question during dating. Yet in God, we can find there the peace we need to make this big decision.

God is continually at work in our life, but we don’t always notice it. Especially when we are exhausted. So let us be alert, even if we are tired, so we do not miss His miracles.

Who said the Christian life would be easy? Certainly not the first disciples! Not only will our service to God take a great deal of effort, as will defending our faith, but our spiritual growth as well.
