There is much to be said about the demeanor of each life in regard to the pres- ence of God; because, the Spirit’s work within each life and heart that is receptive to Jesus prompts one’s consciousness to respond to not only the nature of His work, but also the way in which He divinely enables (which allows the capacity for) one to hold the meaning clear to mind that Jesus is Lord and deserves utmost respect and praise, giving glory to His name. There is then the demand of responsibility on the part of each person that identifies with the relationship of His presence, that one should live accord- ing to His principles in the obedience of His love extended (in the gracious plan He offer- ed), in order that one may partake of the blessings He bestows in the gifting of one’s life. So one must not only accept what God gave; but, one must also be aware that it takes discipline through the prompting of the Holy Spirit within a life to remind one to respond with action upon what Jesus has said to us that we may all be effective for His work. Jesus stated in His Words to us that apply as much today as even then; for, we are to be careful with such prudence as to use good judgment in living our lives among those who are crooked and sly in their ways and yet the mission of our lives with such an innocency as to be free from guilit with no harm caused to the pure and sincere motives that sets forth the good news of the truth of His Word, of which we will be held account- able. For as God desires to work in our lives all that He has planned for each to do according to His purpose in the work He has begun, He also continues to move mightily in each with growth to maturity in such illumination of what He places inside that also gives the ability to shine outwardly with the brightness of that knowledge to reach forth to others with that light of the life God gave through His Son, Who showed the example of the life to live here below as to carry in ourselves the suffering of a servant that is evident in following the Lord Jesus Christ in the risk of our earthly life that may be cut short that we may also take part in the better resurrection in Christ Jesus our Lord. We must keep our attention affixed to the time ahead with the anticipation of finishing our work on this earth well. For the one who truly wins is the one who keeps mind and eyes on the higher call in the direction of the dwelling of God that we will someday abide with Him in such a joy filled atmosphere that all complaints of this earthly life will forever be forgotten! Let our lives exhibit brightness that leads others to the truth of Jesus and not be dimmed by complaints or put out by disqualification! Be enlightened by God’s goodness and rejoice in “Don’t Dim Your Light By Grumbing”. LaNora G. Means
