Today's words bring the constant reminder of how our work as Christians is never done, that everyday our focus needs to be on keeping his commands and living our lives the way Jesus did. We have to keep that in mind when dealing with unpleasant situations, including professors, patients, clients, other drivers on the road, whatever we come into contact with. Sometimes it is a little (or more than a little) difficult to behave like Jesus did when we're in these difficult situations. I pray that I may keep this in mind when I deal with unpleasant patients, work situations, silly arguments and family issues.

We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

I agree - it's the challenging part of a Christian's life, the little opportunities to obey him. I fall and fail much too often, but it doesn't stop me from praying for another chance and for forgiveness! It's an endless journey, isn't it?!
