What a question

Is my life an expression of love for God and love for others?

That was asked in my daily devotional this morning.

What a challenging question!

What a stripped down simple demonstration of the Christian life lived well.

I need to be done with everything other than that:

1 Peter 4:7-11 NLT

The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. [8] Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. [9] Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. [10] God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. [11] Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.
