TO A HIGHER STANDARD

 

TO A HIGHER STANDARD

 

Are you=A GOOD PERSON?

Are you=A BELIEVER in God

And considered=to be a CHRISTIAN?

 

If YOUR ANSWERS=to

These questions are YES=you

Are HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD=

For our God and Lord=is DEPENDING ON YOU

To get the job done

A job of FAITH=a job of BELIEVING

 

“ALL of them differ=one from another

Yet none of them=has he MADE IN VAIN

For each in turn=as it comes=IS GOOD”                                                                              Sirach 42:25

 

Are we all good

I would like=to think so

But I know=that is NOT TRUE

 

For I see THE NEWS=each day

I see the crime=I see the domestic violence

I see the=IRRESPONSIBLE USE OF GUNS

 

Yet I KNOW

That there is a=TOUCH OF GOODNESS

In EVERY ONE of us

 

For we are MADE in

The IMAGE AND LIKENESS

Of our God and Jesus

 

IF we accept that fact

We have to Call ourselves

TO A HIGHER SATANDARD

We have to TRY

And live=like our God and Jesus

 

“Then God said=

‘Let us=make mankind=IN OUR IMAGE

In our likeness

 

So that they=may rule

Over the fish in the sea=the birds……..’”                                                                                       Genesis 1:26

 

“For those God foreknew=

He also predestined=to be conformed

TO THE IMAGE=Of his Son…….”                                                                                                Romans 8:29

 

“And we all=

Who with unveiled faces=

Contemplate the Lord’s glory

 

Are being transformed=INTO HIS IMAGE

With an ever-increasing glory

Which comes from the Lord=who

Is the Spirit”                                                                                                                                 2 Corinthians 3:18

 

That is right=MY FRIENDS

Every single one of us

Man or woman=have been made in

 

THE IMAGE OF GOD=that means

There is SOME GOODNESS=in each of us

And we are CALLED=

TO A HIGHER STANDARD

 

“And those he predestined=

HE ALSO CALLED=those he CALLED

He also justified=those he justified

He also glorified”                                                                                                                         Romans 8:30

 

My dear friends=we have

ALL FAILED GOD

In our lives=at one time=or another

 

But we have JESUS’ IMAGE=in us

And that means=we are Called

TO A HIGHER STANDARD

 

Let us PRAY=for each other

That more of us=START LIVING

That way

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ALWAYS GOOD=Holy Father God!
