LIVING UNDER LABELS

Some labels come automatically like husband wife, brother sister, grandma grandpa, man woman, Christian Jew. That is a natural order in our world. But some labels are placed on us by the world through the flesh.....dummy stupid, fatty beanpole, crazy fanatic, idiot genus....and other things. We can bow to that label and live an unhappy life or we can brush it off. I love it when people call me a Bible thumping, tongue talking Jesus freak. If I dwelled in the flesh those words coul wound me but since I am led by the spirit I rejoice because they saw Jesus in me. Even if they did not like it they saw Jesus....... YEAH! I love what God says about me in 1 Peter 2:9.....but you are a chosen people,(wow God chose me), a royal priesthood, (royal blood from the King of Kings......into the priesthood)a holy nation, (because of Jesus I am holy),a people belonging to God,( I belong to God), that you may declare the praises of Him you called you out of darkness into the glorious light. (that is our job to praise Him) (called out of the darkness..how sad some chose to dwell in such a barren place) into His glorious light ( how God honors us and gives His best) we all live under labels beloved.....chose God's label be led by the Spirit not the flesh...have a great rest of the day you royal priesthood holy nation belonging to God praising His name living in His glorious light. AMEN

    Over the years we've dealt with a lot of those kinds of words, but I've never thought of it like that before. I mean...I knew that people were offended BECAUSE of Jesus, but never actually thought about it being because they saw Jesus in us and didn't like it. That's awesome!
