Fantastic Friday #360- Form

Form

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Timothy 3:1-5

How do you form your life? Is it based on principles that follow a standard of graciousness, or is it full of worldly beliefs and attitudes that help you form your opinions and your lifestyle.  I am finding more and more that the people I see at work and school each day, are more interested in themselves than other people.  They focus on pleasing themselves rather than pleasing God.  When Jesus came to earth, He did not focus on His own life, but that of others.  Although those around Him were proud, boastful, and without love, He showed them Love and humbly cared about each one of them.  If we focused more on our form being one that is of God, instead of this world, our lives would most definitely have a positive influence on the people around us.  It is important that our form does not follow the ungodly ways of the world, but of the Godly ways our Father in Heaven has set out before us. On this resurrection weekend, remember the form that Jesus took in His resurrected body so we could all be given the Grace we should give others and do not deserve ourselves.

Have a great weekend.
