Philippians 2:12 "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed- not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose." Obey, with purity of heart, do what is right, when no one is looking! I am a recovering Alcoholic. I used to be a closet drinker. I spent a lot of years hiding my alcohol. In the AA program, we have a saying; “ Our secrets keep us sick.” If I am secretly grumbling and complaining to someone, or secretly eating an extra portion of ice cream I’m not taking full responsibility for my actions. Therefore I am more likely to repeat my unwanted behaviors. Today, be encouraged to go the extra mile, even if no one else will notice. Be encouraged to do what is right even if it’s the most difficult. Live in purity of heart and actions! Don't just desire to do good, do good because you desire to!! We are saved by the grace of God our salvation is a gift. Doing good is a gift to ourselves and others ๐๐✝️
