Once Jesus dwells within us, our interests in the things of the earth diminish relative to our interest in the Lord. This can become a real problem for those around us who have not received Jesus as their Savior. They can become threatened, particularly when we begin rejecting things that they may hold dear. We must be careful not to judge them for they do not know the Lord. Anytime our thoughts turn to judgement, we should quickly turn those thoughts into intercessory prayer.
Pray that the Lord will open their eyes to see the way, the truth and the life in Jesus Christ. Pray that the Lord will open their hearts to receive His Son as their Savior. Pray that the Lord will mold their hearts so that they will submit to Him as their Lord, Master and King. Pray that they will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to go out to proclaim their good news, to share the perfect love and forgiveness of Jesus with the world around them, to bear fruit for the kingdom of God and to bring honor and glory to His name.
