A godly life

“By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.”2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Peter tells us we have all we need in Christ to live a godly life, not a comfortable life or a prosperous life but a godly life. 

What is a godly life? This is a life that displays Him. He is beautiful, holy and pure. We can be also as we draw near to Him. Jesus told us to abide in Him and with that a promise that she would abide in us. 

I have a friend who is building a house in Kathmandu Nepal. It will be a lovely house overlooking beautiful fields. He is choosing to abide, make his home and settle in Nepal.

Jesus invites us to abide, settle, make our home in Him, with it comes a promise, He will abide  in us. A wonderful promise. Am I willing to abide in Him? 

As I learn to abide He is touching my heart and correcting a judgmental side of me that emerges when hurt. He has me where He wants me. Judgment is not for me, if He could refrain from judgement surely I can also. Even as He  died He forgave. Amen
