“Beware of living according to your natural affections in your spiritual life. Everyone has natural affections-some people we like and others we don’t like. Yet we must never let those likes and dislikes rule our Christian life. Being a disciple means deliberately identifying yourself with God’s interests in other people. (John 13:34-35) The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing, but in God-likeness.”
My Utmost for His Highest-September 20
I read that in my devotions last night, and it majorly convicted me. So often I chose to serve and show Christ-likeness to only those I like, not those who I may not like. However, God has called us to love all men, friends and enemies alike. So as you and I go throughout our day, we need to be continually seeking ways to serve ALL those around us.
