Okay, so this may sound strange, but do you feel better when someone compliments you on your abilities or the kind of person that you are? I know you are going to say yes because who doesn’t? A friend of mine recently told me that she has seen a change in me and my way of approaching life. She said I’m more respectful of others and more mature in my faith and uplifting. She told me that she wanted to have what I have. Well, I can tell you right now, yes, that made my whole world feel like I was doing something that I know I should be doing anyway. I was not looking for a compliment or anything of the sort but I just wanted to share with people the kind of love that God has shown me. It just happened to be that someone acknowledged the change and now they want that. Isn’t that the kind of person we should all strive for? To be the kind of person that people WANT to be and for the better? There are those people that are watching us that we do not know about. People who are Christians and those who are not. People are constantly keeping their eye on you to see what kind of follower we are. I know this either sounds creepy or you feel lots of pressure. But, honestly, if you just dive into the word and listen to what God tells you to do, then all of the radiance that people will notice about you will be effortless. You will just become that way because God has renewed your spirit and all you will want to do is shout it from the rooftops. So instead of looking for the outward glory from those around you, you can be filled with the spiritual glory that most people want to have. Those people rarely see an example of that in their lives because this day in age, it’s really hard to find a truly committed Christian who actually follows the word of God. There are those people that say that they are followers but go out and break every rule in the book. Do you want to be that? Do you want that to be what people remember about you? Or do you want them to remember that you were a follower of Christ and they want to be able to live their life out the way that you did? So, look for the spirit’s compliments in your life. Allow God to give you that ego boost by giving Him your life.Thursday, August 12, 2010
leaving a print of our lives
