Are you functional?

Have you ever wondered if you are functional? What does it even mean? "The flashlight was still functional after it was dropped." I will use this example of the word. Referring to life we have all have taken hard hits in our pasts. Those hits have an effect on us, good and bad. In our homes we are living together effected by life? Those things that have happened to us in our pasts. Maybe you have been abused, betrayed, unloved, or some other situation that affected you. Like being dropped. Are you able to treat others with respect, or are you faithful in your present relationships? Can you love others unconditionally?

God is able to use even those hurts in our lives to form positive attitudes in our lives. God is the best answer for our short comings. If you have not been loved God's love is our perfect example to help us break through the hurt. God will use your pain as part of your foundation in the transformation of your character. When God comes into your life and His fruit begins to grow in you then you will find that you are able to see with eyes of God's love. You will be able to forgive first then love others that have not been good to you. God is good and He wants us to be good. Lives around us will be affected by then seeing God's transforming power working in our lives. Shining out to show a path that can lead other to a God of love. God is amazing. Just let Him do it in your life!
