Son, people ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they get angry at Me. To them nothing is pure, their minds and consciences have become corrupt. They claim to know Me, but they deny Me by the way they live. They are foolish, disobedient people who have been misled and have become slaves to their lusts and pleasures. Their lives are full of evil, envy, and hate.
Teach them to know My truth, and that My truth will show them how to live godly lives. This truth will give them confidence that they have eternal life with Me. Show them My truth in your life by being an example to them through your obedience. Let your life reflect the integrity and seriousness of knowing the truth. What is this truth? I gave My life to free people from every kind of sin, to cleanse them, and to make them My very own people, totally committed to being obedient.
Lord, help me to teach the truth. Help me to keep my heart pure so that I can encourage others with Your truth. Help me to keep my eyes open to all Your opportunities that you bring my way. Help me not to get even when people have wronged me. Help me to allow Your penetrating light to expose every hidden motive in my life. I don’t want You to say of me at the end of my life: “He did well in following My instructions, but did not obey Me with all his heart.”
