Breath of fresh air

Philippians 2:12-15 (msg)
What I'm getting at, friends, is that you should simply keep on doing what you've done from the beginning. When I was living among you, you lived in responsive obedience. Now that I'm separated from you, keep it up. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. That energy is God's energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure. Do everything readily and cheerfully--no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night

Jesus, fill me up anew with Your spirit- continue to make me more like You. As I become more like You, increase my opportunities to share Your grace and Your love with those around me. Help me to be a breath of fresh air to Your children. I love You, O Lord my hope- my God, my Rock- my shield, my fortress and my deliverer!
