Little Pieces of Happiness

"Friends, this world is not your home, so don't make yourselves cozy in it. Don't indulge your ego at the expense of your soul. Live an exemplary life among the natives so that your actions will refute their prejudices. Then they'll be won over to God's side and be there to join in the celebration when he arrives."
1 Peter 2:11-12. The Message

There are two main points in this verse that really stand out to me:

1. This is a temporary world. This reenforces the idea of living this life for the Lord and pursuing his plans for you. We must desire the Lord's plans and crave his direction.

2. We must be lights/examples to others, in this world, by our actions. While Jesus on this earth, He showed others the Lord's love though stories, parables, and through his actions. It is our responsibility now to show others God's love through our own actions.

Just my thoughts,
