1 Thessalonians 4:2,7 …keep on doing what we told you to do to please God, not in a dogged religious plod, but in a living, spirited dance…God hasn't invited us into a disorderly, unkempt life but into something holy and beautiful—as beautiful on the inside as the outside.

Living a life with God is fun, creative, full of the good things of life.  It doesn’t mean that each and every day is a plod, a chore, but that there lies days of excitement, of adventure.  It’s orderly, safe, full of the purity of God and consistently beautiful.  Our private lives are just as beautiful as the life that everyone sees.

Am I living a consistently beautiful life?  Am I so partnered with God that my inside life is the SAME as my outside life?

Lord, thank you that living a life with you is something that is fun, beautifully holy and not chaotic.  I love this sort of life.  Thank you for cleaning up the areas and people from my life that subtracted from the beauty, from the spirited dance and from the holiness of my life with you.    You are beautiful and holy.
