Yesterday we had a celebration of life at my church for Mr. Good. He was a very godly man who went to be with the Lord last week. It was an awesome service celebrating him and the servant that he was. It is so encouraging to see older godly men and women in the church. It has been wonderful to grow up watching their examples and learning from them.
The thing is, I can get so wrapped up in the believers that I forget that I live in a fallen world. I am thankful for the believers in my life and the godly family that I have. But then I go to school and realize that I do in fact live in a sinful world. I was in class today and was astounded by the immorality that was being celebrated in my class. Because of this I know that I need to make even more of an effort to be a light. I want the Lord to shine through me. I want people to realize that there is something different in me. I want to be able to tell others of the joy that I have only in Christ. I need to remember these things. As I go to school and work, I need to know that I have the opportunity to make a difference in the Lord's kingdom and it all depends on my choices.
