obedience to Christ.

I started  a new chapter in my faith life. I am now being mentor in the faith by a wonderful man that is very inspiring. we just started it a couple of weeks ago but as he is mentoring me thru the scriptures there is something that keeps coming up. Obedience to Christ. there is a lot of this in the scriptures. However in our current world Obedience has become a second class citizen. Our mentality including mine is i am in control of my life and i don't need to surrender my self to none one especially God. However if one can take a step back and consider this. We do need God in our lives and we do need to become Obedient. But we have to do it because we want to do it and Not because we have to. Our heart has to be in it as well as our mind. This is the difficult task, to think that we have to relay on a super power that we don't know personally or meet or can see or touch or feel to know that is for real. Yet Christ said to st Thomas the apostle "blessed are those who believe and have not seen" or something like that. Think back to all those times that something happen in your live that you cannot explain or offer a logical explanation for. The time you had a close call in a near car accident or some other accident. That was the hand of God that deliver you from that harm of from worse harm. But yet we all say thanks God and move on to never think about Him again up until the time when we need Him then we remember that he is there and that he exist. So what it is to be obedient? john 14:21 said say so clear it. " he who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me and he who loves me will be loved by my father and i will love him and manifest my self to him." so not only are we to know what is good and wrong but God wants us to show that we can stay away from sins, from doing the wrong things to others, by coming closer to God, by raising our families with God in our home and in our hearts and by developing a special relationship with God and by doing so we are showing Obedience. Looking at it from that point it does not look so hard at all. Right!!!  Well then what are you wainting for, start today by doing something small and you will see that in a matter of time you will be doing bigger and better things and your faith will grow so much but overall You will feel the presence of God in your everyday life. So go on and make a change for the better after all your soul and your families souls are on the line!!!God Bless and God is GOOD.
