I have had to ask myself lately
Do I truly reflect Christ in all that I say and do?
Do people more often hear what I am against than what I am for?
I am a follower of Christ
I desire to make His name known
If I do my part in being kingdom focused in my words and deeds, then won't people be drawn
to the Christ that I follow?
If the love that I have for people, sinners ( just like you and me) is consistently flowing out of a heart that fully understands grace and compassion won't that be more appealing to the person seeking Christ?
If I share HIS name is that more affective then letting one more person know that I don't agree with this or that?
If you desire to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord and you find yourself always striving to let the lost world know how lost they are... take rest! You can not expect lost people to live as though they have Christ.
"Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."
John 13:35 ( NLT)
Our love is what truly reflects Jesus Christ. When we look at His earthly ministry, he was among the people that we as christians tend to turn our noses up around
He was around the prostitutes, He was friends with the tax collectors, He showed
LOVE, MERCY, GRACE
He SAW people! He didn't see their sin as much as He saw their need for a Savior
I pray that my life would reflect HIM!
I pray that I would place my SELF aside, all of my opinions and judgements
I pray that I would cast them aside and learn to TRULY love the way that Jesus loves!
If you are a christian, most people know what you are against!
The saddest thing is that people may have NO idea what/ Who you are for
Is the list of things you're against saving souls?
Are your condemning words reaching a lost world or making them turn and walk away?
Are you a reflection of His grace, mercy and love?
a question that I have had to ask myself lately:
How will they see HIM if I am standing in the WAY
