257/365: Representing God To The World

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:20

Men of God! You are the living representative of Jesus Christ in this world - to this world - for this world. Consider your words, your actions, and your heart toward everyone you meet today.

You may be the only glimpse of God someone will see today. Own it.

GO DEEPER: 1 John 2:3-6

Next Step: Do you have a plan for the words you use, the actions you take, the responses you give?

God does wonders, so be compassionate, generous, help for others, kind, considerate off all. May God's love, show through us in our actions, our walk of life, are deeds, are words and our intentions. May our motivation be to share God's love and nothing else.

I’ve heard it said before that we should act as if Jesus himself is in the room or place with us. I know I’ve gotten upset and anger has gotten the best of me plenty of times since turning my life over to the care of God. When I think back through those especially when I’m driving I have plenty of times where I would have been quite embarrassed had I really thought about Jesus is literally in the room with me. The truth is He is. So act accordingly. Not the easiest thing since all of us are creatures of habit. Some habits being hard to break or so automatic it can be hard to even realize them. I think would I curse all the time if Jesus was standing there. Probably not. Would I get angry? Not likely since I could literally ask Jesus what He thinks and how I should respond. The truth is we have access to exactly that all the time through the word of God and truth shining friends aligned in Gods will. It’s kind of incredible to think about! Thank you God for giving us Your son so that we may have eternal life. I pray that I may be a great example today and everyday of how Your light changed my life and can change anyone’s life. I love you God amen 🙏

May we remember in ALL our interactions, “what would Jesus think/say/do?”. May we hold the door for Jesus before walking out into the world, and before walking into wherever we go today. May we save a seat for Jesus at whatever tables we sit at today. May we slow down today, and remember to walk with Jesus, at His pace, and simply be present and be aware of our surroundings. May we be forever reminded, Jesus had the entire world to save in a very short time, yet He only ever walked… 🙏🏻

I try to remember to treat everyone I meet better than I treat myself; everyone I encounter as if they are more important than me! I don’t always succeed, but that’s the plan.

Sheila and I went to the market yesterday even it had been just 13 days since my heart attack. By the time we got everything in the car and then pulled out and set up at the market, I will say that I was pretty fatigued. However I still offered a friendly greeting to each person that stopped by the stand and tried my best to witness to each one. By the end of the day I felt pretty energized but I did not want to lift my create of product in the back of the car so I asked one of the other guys for help. As I turned around from asking I found our booths had been swarmed by still other vendors to help us get tables collapsed and our canopies as well. The support almost brought me to tears with each one also expressing to us that we are in their prayers. If we share Him goodness to us He surely does bring it back to us. If you don’t think you have a plan then consider just sharing what he does for you with those you come in contact with. Even if your story seems down just relate how God kept you through it. That is the best plan you can ever come up with.

Yes, from the heart everything else flows. We have to be aware of our own condition because that affects our relationship with everyone else. Have a blessed day everyone!
