"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." - John 3:16-17

No greater love is there than the love of God for us his children. So, when you are trying to call others to the Christian way of life, do not condemn them, but offer love, just as Jesus didn't condemn us but gave his life for us in love, so that we might be saved.

For His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. - 2 Peter 1:3 HSCB

What is your primary obligation today? Are you becoming wrapped up in meeting society's expectations  that you are failing to focus on God's expectations? Who are you trying to please today: God or society?

Your primary obligation is not to please imperfect men and women. Your obligation is to strive diligently to meet the expectations of an all-knowing and perfect God. Period.

So, today, worry not about what others think about you and your decisions, but worry on whether or not your decisions are pleasing to God.

Hallelujah! The impossible has happened: the tomb is empty; Christ lives among and within us! May we see signs of resurrection in everything around us today. May we celebrate hope and new life: Christ is risen indeed! Hallelujah! Amen!
