Living a Connected Life in Faith

There are plates for food with separate compartments. They ensure that every type of food you have is insulated from the others, and nothing is touching. This is how some people live their lives. Work, home, school, church, leisure, etc.; all of it is kept separate, and nothing is carried through from one to the next.

However, everything that we do should be an expression of the faith that we have in God and the things that He is doing in our lives. Imagine a platter with various types of food on it. They aren’t mixed together but are touching one another. When you add the gravy, you just cover the mashed potatoes. Because everything is touching, the gravy flows from item to item. It covers and flavors everything on the platter. That gravy is the Holy Spirit. When we are saved, He comes to live in our hearts. He flows into every area of our life that we allow, cleansing us and causing us to be more like Him.

If you praise God at church, praise Him at work. If you talk to people about Jesus at church, talk to people about Jesus at the store. Let the Holy Spirit guide everything that you do in your life. Not only will your life on earth be better, but you will also hear one day, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

By integrating our faith into every aspect of our lives, we allow the Holy Spirit to work through us continuously. This not only enriches our personal walk with God but also impacts those around us, spreading His love and grace in every environment we find ourselves in. Let’s strive to live lives that are not compartmentalized but are wholly dedicated to reflecting the love and truth of Jesus Christ.
