"Women of God can never be like women of the world.
The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender.
There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind.
There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined.
We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith.
We have enough greed; we need more goodness.
We have enough vanity; we need more virtue.
We have enough popularity; we need more purity."

What kind of people ought you to be?

A few months ago the pastor at my church said something that made me think.  It was sort of an aha moment for me.  He said, "Once we accept Jesus into our hearts we have everlasting life.  So why aren't we living that everlasting life right now?"

What kind of people ought you to be?

I believe God wants us to live right now our everlasting life, and serve Him with the joy of knowing who's we are and where we're going.
"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat."  2 Peter 3:10-12
