Ephesians 4:1-7 Everyone wants a dog that does cool tricks like shaking hands, speaking, playing dead, and fetching the newspaper.  However, most of us fail to take the time necessary to help the dog learn how to do the tricks.  If we’re completely honest with ourselves, we allow our dogs to act the opposite way of what we desire because we don’t do what’s necessary to get them to where we want them to be. The same is true in our relationship with Christ. If we don’t take the time or have the desire to do what’s necessary in our spiritual lives, we will never reach a point where we want to be, and it’s impossible to lead people where they need to be if you aren’t there first. Are you where you want to be in life?  If not, reflect on where you want to be and the steps it will take to reach your goal. READ THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT Today’s Reading: Acts 1]]>
