The difference between a believer and a disciple.
A believer praises the Lord in good times, the disciple at all times.
The Holy Spirit resides in the believer but shines through the disciple.
A believer loves God with heart and mind, while a disciple commits the
will.
A believer loves God and others, but they are the disciple's life.
A believer lives in hope, but for the disciple, God's hope is certain.
A believer seeks forgiveness for sin, but the disciple also determines
not to walk that path again.
A believer has faith in God but the disciple's faith is tempered in the
fire of testing.
A believer loves the Lord, but the disciple's love is unconditional.
The believer serves the Lord in strength, but the disciple is made
perfect through weakness.
God is part of the believer's life, but the central focus of the
disciple.
A believer forgives, but the disciple also forgets.
A believer communicates with God at their own convenience, but the
disciple's heart is open to the Lord at all times.

While none of us can lay claim to living up to all these principles, all of
the time - for we have not yet reached perfection - they can remind us of the
direction in which we are to go. But let's try our hardest to make our words
and actions mirror images of each other.
