“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,”.

1 Peter 3:15

Jesus is Lord over our lives because we have been purchased by his extraordinary gift of salvation. He deserves our everything. People just don’t understand what they are giving up by not knowing him. He offers us so very much by just believing that he is who he is. Accepting that he does want our very best. And that he is very capable of delivering. I spent over half my life believing that he existed but not knowing him. It took someone being so passionate and sure of what she had and being willing to share it to wake me up. Now I could never imagine my life without him. From the moment I wake up until I fall asleep at night he is always on my mind. I cannot say thank you enough for all that he has done and keeps doing. He is not just my boss that I work for, because now that I’m retired he is my boss for he is my closest companion. I try very hard to listen for that small whisper of do this or try this and to jump to do it.There is nothing to good for me or anything that I don’t deserve. He feels that about everyone, too. We are supposed to do all he commands and run from the past sins with his help. We are called to live righteous and holy lives just as Jesus did. Our work is also furthering God’s kingdom and loving others. We should do everything excellently as to the Lord. Go the extra mile.
