If you had to define yourself what would you say? I don't mean describe yourself, define yourself. A description is more of an expression of how something, or someone in this case, presents itself. A definition is more about what a person does and what drives/motivates them. I am a pretty average male, which is a description. I am a Christian that relies on GOD to guide me is a definition.
What got me to thinking about this this morning is something a guy at church asked Trish and me to do yesterday. He asked each of us a question. Trishia's was, "What is a wife?" And, mine was, "What do you expect in/from a wife?" Really good questions.
Today's word is taken from the Message. Romans 1:6 from the Message reads, "You are who you are through the gift and call of JESUS CHRIST."
We, Christians, are only Christians through the gift and call of JESUS CHRIST. Being a Christian should define us. I am an average male - description. But, because I am a Christian - definition - everything I do and the way I present and behave myself should be based on Christian fundamentals.
Now, let me tell you what I expect in a wife. First, I expect her to be a Christian. Then, I expect her to be loyal and faithful, a confidant, an advocate, and encourager. I expect her to be devoted totally and completely to me. But, I didn't stop there. I finished by saying that I expect me to be the same for her.
As Christians, we are the bride of Christ. The way we behave and the way we conduct ourselves should be based on that fact.
Be Blessed,
