PEOPLE OF GOD
Everyone lives for something or another. Some live
for their families. Some for money. Some for
worldly tribute and power. A life which revolves
around these things cannot be a life of faith. A life
of faith is one lived for God’s sake alone. When one
lives for God, one’s entire life revolves around Him.
One’s thoughts and desires are focused on Him
alone. One thinks about what pleases and
displeases God when one speaks. One limits one’s
movements to the bounds that God has laid down.
The human brain inevitably forms some sort of
response to any message that it receives. Those who
live for God will produce divinely inspired
responses. Their utterances will not be based on the
promptings of their own selves. They consider what
will be acceptable to God and what will be cast
aside when they come before Him. If their
conscience tells them that certain words are
displeasing to God, then they avoid them. They
only say what they know God would like them to.
