Affectionately HIS

Colossians 3:1-2 KJV

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

We are told to set our affection on things above, not on things on Earth.  Set you affection.  This brings to mind a certain young man I know.  When he was in high school, he set his affection on a girl. Now at the time, she would have little to do with him. But he absolutely would not give up. He carried her picture in his wallet and showed it to us often saying, this is the girl I am going to marry. He had her name on his keyring. He was always talking about her with a smile on his face.

This is what we are called to. We should set our affection on our Lord Jesus Christ! His name should be forever on our lips. We should be smiling while telling everyone we meet, "This is the One I love!"

Get your mind off of this crazy sinful world! Stop looking at it with longing eyes.  I love a verse God showed me years ago when my eyes were beginning to wander.  It simply says "Remember Lot's wife"

Don't look back at the sin you used to be in. Stop wishing you could. Start living your life to please the Lord you serve. I want to bring Him glory!

So let's purpose in our hearts to set our affection on Him.  Read about Him. Pray to Him. Love on Him.
