Many a time, Christians live a day, when they would live for God on a Sunday or Saturday, and live for their own for the rest of the week. They think that by reserving one or two days for God is sufficient. By what does God really think? What do you think He sees in such an attitude of a Christian?

It suddenly occurs to me that we should live our lives, everyday for God, and every moment we should be constantly thinking of Him. We learn to do His will, love others like ourselves, blessing people when they need one, confess to Him of our sins and constantly renew ourselves.
Come to think of it, how many of us reading this now, actually does all these? Even I myself don't dare to say I accomplish all these things everyday, but least I dare to try and I'm learning.

God doesn't see what you do, but He looks at your heart, looking at the attitude that you carry. It's the same as worship. When we sing a song, it's not the lyrics that matters most, neither is it the whole tune, but is how we express and release our emotions towards Him that He sees. He wants to see a genuine heart, not a heart that constantly tells lies.

Whenever we don't have Christ in us, it's equivalent that we are living a life like the past, falling into temptations so easily, not able to safeguard our hearts and minds from evil, doing things which are sinful. The worse part is, you know you shouldn't do all these but yet you brought yourslef into such a state. Sooner or later because of such actions, you are leading yourself into spiritual death, in which you can no longer connect to God, receive His love and know the purpose you have in His Kingdom.

So how do we actually allow Christ to live in us? That we constantly seek His face through prayer and quiet time, allowing Him to come into our lives, to guide us in our everyday life. What we do, is to fulfill His commandments and do His will, so that His kingdom may come to this very earth He had created. Most importantly, I believe we should constantly repent before God that we confess our sins, that we want to break away from the bondage of sins so that Christ can live in us.

Something struck me while reading the Devotional Journal. It's about contrition. It describes Christians who are just sorry for their sins that they had been continuously in sin but repent with a heart not broken.
Psalms 34;18 - The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

If we truly want to live with Christ everyday, it's no doubt that we have to repent of our sins, so that God may renew us every single day as we allow Him to, that we may reign with Him as kings and priests in our lives.


2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land
