James 3 Vs 13-17   

If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with humility that comes from wisdom. But if you are bitterly jealous there is selfish ambition in your heat, don't cover up the truth with boasting and lying. For jealousy and selfish are not Gods kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times,and willing to yield to others. it is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.

Many people say they are christians or are followers of christ but don't really act like it, They go to church on Sunday but then Friday night the are out partying getting drunk and living a double life style. God calls us to do good works and if you say you are a followers then you life that life humbly without looking for gain or reward just doing it all in the glory of God. For I was trapped in that cycle I would say i was a follower of christ but then next day get drunk or high with my friends. I got warped in the mind set of tomorrow ill stop and give to the lord but let just have this one last night and those Last night would go on for weeks. For we get clouded with are own desires and say don't worry tomorrow is a new day but we are not promised tomorrow. We have to live everyday in the honor of God doing good works and staying humble not giving in to are own desires but to live for the one true king and share his love and word.

Application-  I will make a list of the good works I have done to honor God and write reminders next them the purpose of why I did it.
