Live A Life Worthy

Are you living a life worthy of the calling you have received?

"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it." Ephesians 4:1-7

Over the past few months the Lord has been making real to me about living a life worthy of the calling I have received. He has been working deep in my spirit drawing me closer to Him because the only way we can walk in a manner worthy is by His grace. There is nothing in me that will allow me to do this on my own. I will make mistakes, I will fall short time and time again. But the most awesome thing about it, is that it doesn't matter. No matter how many times I fall and fail, He is always there to catch me. His blood washes over me, cleansing me, making me holy. Through Him we have been sanctified (1 Corinthians 6:11, Hebrews 10:10). Through Him we have been made holy. Through Him we have been made perfect (Hebrews 10:14).  Through Him I live and have my being (Acts 17:28). Through Him I can do ALL things (Philippians 4:13). Through Him NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE (Matthew 19:26; Luke 1:37). Through Him, through Him, through Him. It is all through Him. Like Paul wrote in Philippians 3:12-14, "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do, forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." 

I will leave you with the question He has been asking me for months: Are you living a life worthy of the calling you received? 

"That's All Folks!"
