What shall we put on?

Along my journey, I’ve found writing out the scriptures help cement them into my brain. Today’s scripture writing included this verse:

Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.” John 14:21 NLT

Christ has done so much for me, the least I can do is to obey what He tells me. And what He tells me to do is do-able!

Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:3 NLT

I’m reminded of an awesome quote from Elisabeth Elliot's Daily Devotional that I had to share:

"Put on Christ. The act of honest obedience--the fruit of love for Christ--is your part. Making you Christlike through and through is his part."

It's like a light bulb went off in my head: It's His job to make me Christlike! It's not up to me! 

That's my problem a lot of times anyway ... thinking that it's all up to me .... am I the only one that gets caught up in that kind of thinking? Often, I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders when it is not mine to carry in the first place.

To sum it up:

·        My job is to obey.

·        His job is to make me Christlike.
