You are Not a Car!

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven." Matthew 7:21

As one of my spiritual mentors once said, "You can call yourself a car, but it doesn't make yourself a car.  You can even go into your garage and sit there all day saying 'Vroom!  Vroom!'.  It still doesn't make you a car".  We can refer to ourselves with all sorts of labels and we can even mimic those things.  However, labels and mimicking are external but do not truly represent our true inner nature.  Putting on a uniform on Saturday or Sunday does not make you a player on your favorite college or NFL football team.  Labeling yourself as a Christian and carrying around a bible doesn't automatically make you a member of God's team.  

Lord, help me to behave properly and let my actions demonstrate who you want me to be.

I was greatly moved by this prayer. Perhaps, it's because that's how I see myself right now. You can say that you love God and you want to be saved, yet your actions do not reflect the words that come out from your mouth. It should always be based on your actions. I always ask God to guide me with the choices I need to make. I always pray to God to guide me so I can still be deserving of the love He can give. That's part of my daily routine.
