Faith.

"For through the law I died to the law, so that  I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I lived by faith in the Son of God"-Galatians 3:19-20
As i was reading my bible tonight I came across this verse that I have above, it reminded me that Christ lives in me and that in this troubled world I have to live by faith in God and nothing else. This week God has really been teaching me to "love your neighbor as yourself", which is not always easy when you don't agree with the choices that someone has made. We just have to pray for that person and hope that God will show them the path to him. This is hard thing for me to do, when i don't like the person, but i know in heart that its the right thing to do. So lately I have been working on praying for others even those that i do not like. Prayer is so important and especially praying for others, this verse reminds us of that:   "As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right."- 1 Samuel 12:23. It's hard watching someone that you care about make bad choices but we just have to have faith in God that he will reveal to them the path of light and take them away from the darkness. so i encourage you to pray for someone that maybe you do not get along with or like and have faith that God will show them the way to him.
