How Are We Supposed to Live


Ancient Manuscript: Gospel of Thomas

Saying: 6

My Reflection on Verse:

We have to start with the questions of the disciples.  There they are questioning how we live our life.  Do we give to the poor?  Do we pray?  What things must we do to praise God?

God tells them to live their life as if there is nothing to be ashamed of.  God knows what we do in secret and what we do in open.  We need to live our life knowing that God is with us at all times.  If we feel something is wrong, then it is wrong.  If we feel that we are doing the right thing, then it is right. 

I was told this when I was little and it is still true as an adult.  My parents might know what I do but God sees it.  My parents might not be able to discipline me for what I am doing wrong behind their back but God will.  See we cannot hide from God.  Live your life so that others may see God in your life.  If you live your life like this you will see that you have a more productive life.

You will not have anything to be ashamed of.  People can look at you and say there goes a Christian.  This happens because not only what you do in the open, but also what you do not do. You have to understand when you are a Christian people are watching you.  This is a time to shine bright.  Live with your eyes on God and you will be successful in your life.  Hide away from God and you will soon that you are getting nowhere.  The best thing to do in life is live as if God is always there and in that moment you will find that you are doing the right thing all the time.

Questions to Ask Yourself:


Are you living as if God is with you all the time?  Are you trying to hide things from God?  Are you ashamed of what you are doing?  Is this today that you turn all things over to God and live as if God sees all things?
