Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God. – 3 John 11 (NLT)
PROOF THAT YOU’RE GOD’S CHILD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you claim that you are God’s child?
Do you seek him and constantly abide?
Proof that you’re his child is if you do good
You don’t know God if you don’t live in his truth.
Always do what is right and follow Jesus’ ways
You will never be wrong and not be swayed
You are a child of God if you hunger and seek him
You are his if you do his will and avoid sin.

When you are in relationship with someone, don’t you do things for this beloved to prove your love for him or her? Would you do something that you know would offend your partner if you are in an honest and committed relationship? I am sure that you won’t purposely do something to hurt them. When you claim that you love someone, you act on it and show him or her that you follow through your commitment. Our relationship with God is no different. He expects us to follow through with our commitment with him. How would you feel if God forsakes you or purposely offend you? We prove that we are his child if we do good.
PRAYER
Lord, protect me from being tempted to do evil but always do good.
REFLECTION
How do you prove your love to Jesus on a practical basis?

The Lord directs the step of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.
-Psalm 37:23(NLT)
GOD DIRECTS THE GODLY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you confer with God any minor or major decisions?
He is always concerned with your life including your tribulations
The Lord directs the step of the godly and gives you wisdom
He genuinely cares and wants you to live in freedom.
He loves it when you ask for his guidance and help
He wants you to care for others instead of the self
He delights in every detail of your life
The Lord longs for you to live in his light.

Have you ever consulted others when you need to make a decision? I used to just rely on my own judgment in order to come up with a choice. Sometimes I would succeed and other times, I would fail. I did it all for my own sake and never really thought much about following what God wants in my life. God revealed to me how he longs for me to ask him for every step and every thing under the sun. When I finally obeyed his commands, I felt peace and joy and didn’t focused much on what I can gain but was concerned more if I was pleasing God with the choices I make in life. The bible says that God directs the godly
PRAYER
Lord, grant me wisdom to know which direction you are leading me to follow.
REFLECTION
Do you hear God’s voice when he directs you to do something?
