How Are You Acting?

How are you acting? Do you let your feelings get the best of you? How are you acting? Do you use your gender to get away with verbal murder? How are you acting? If I asked Jesus right now, could He say He is Lord over your thoughts, mouth, and behavior? How are you acting? Seriously, we have to check ourselves because we will be held accountable for everything we say and do and think. It's going to be that real! I don't care what anyone says, we are responsible for how we act (Romans 14:12). How we treat people, talk to others, and deal with confrontation is being watched with a microscopic lens as professed believers. There are no exceptions. When it was time for the walk of Calvary, out of anger Peter cut a soldiers ear off. Now, one would think Peter did that to defend Jesus. He was hurt that they were trying to take Him. Being hurt is fine, but we shouldn't intentionally hurt others in the midst of our hurt. So Jesus heals the man's ear immediately after which showed we are not to retaliate. Christians don't get a pass to snap or go off on others because they are wrong. Women also do not get a pass to cut people with our words because we are emotional. It is all wrong. I am the first to admit my wrongful attitude at times and try to play the "I'm emotional" card. However, God knows better.

Jesus should be Lord over our emotions, our mouth, and our thoughts. Because all of those things without control can be lethal. That's why you have pointless killings going on now. People are acting off how they feel without any conscious on how it effects the community, the nation, or the world. Because I feel like I'm in a bad mood nobody better not say anything to me or I will snap. That's not of God. We have to pray and put on the likeness of Christ. We are here to love no matter who treats us unfairly. Our actions have weight. Moreover, Jesus showed Love and we are to follow His example. What good is a singing, dancing, or teaching Christian who can't act right?

How we act can be life or death!
You must daily deny yourself.
For everything we do shall be judged.
So let's be about our Father's Business and that's Love.
