This is the question that has been plaguing me for a while. Am I hypocritical in the way I live my life? Am I serving God for the wrong reasons, using Him as a cover for things I do “in the name of the Lord”?
I sincerely hope not. But is that what the world sees when they see me or hear me proclaiming “thus sayeth the Lord”? I take my Christian life and doing the will of God very seriously, and if the Bible gives specific instructions on a certain subject matter, then I do my best to follow those instructions. Of course, I mess up. I’m human and I’m not perfect and yes, sometimes I let worldly influences affect me.
Each day, I will take stock of my life and the way I live it. If I am wrong in any thing that I do, then Lord, I ask for your forgiveness. I want to be like You in every way.
If you are reading this, and you have been struggling with this same issue, then why don’t you join me in examining our lives closely, and if there is any cause for doubt about our sincerity, take it to the Lord in prayer and ask that He help make us pure and blameless in our service to Him.
