Matthew 3:8

Matthew 3:8

"Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God."

O/A- John is talking to the Pharisees and Sadducees but it applies to all. It's not about what the outside of "looks" like but where is your heart at? If you speak a big game but your heart is far from the lord then your actions are going to reflect that of the world. It might not show right away but eventually it will boil

Over and what comes out of you will reflect exactly what the condition of your heart is in. So surrender it all the lord, repenting of any sin in your life and not turning back to it. Letting God have control means he will deliver you from that and give you a new desire and taste for a more pleasing and holy life. Your actions will speak for themselves even when your alone what you do will tell the condition of your heart. 

Father we give this day to you and ask that you bless it. Give us strength not just in moments when we're around others but when we're alone and it's just us and you to do what is right to live a life that is pleasing to you and to not give into temptations or things that are not from you. Give us strength to be set apart to live a life that is pleasing to you, no matter where we are at. Let Christ presence in us be so strong that it just pours out and that we become less than less and he becomes greater and greater. Examine our heart lord, and like a surgeon cut away anything that needs to go Give us strength to be a willing vessel and allow your work to be done. We lift this all up to you in Jesus mighty name amen.
