Ack!
This is SUCH a scary, yet very important quote...(for me anyway). Just a
quick story (I'll explain further in an upcoming blog). Recently, a friend and
I came into contact with someone I wasn't very fond of. After our interaction,
my friend- in not so many words- explained that she was paying close attention
to my interaction with this person, and thought it to be very Christ like. I
had NO CLUE she was doing this!!👀 nor did I --at that present moment-- say within my heart that I'm
going to represent Christ right now (in fact, that did NOT AT ALL enter my mind whilst
speaking with this person lol). I was shocked!
Alot
of times we forget that everything we say and do are under a magnifying glass
and has great power to influence others negatively or positively. Your
behaviour can either draw others closer to Christ, or away from. What a
heartache it would be if someone misses out on the Kingdom of heaven because of
something YOU or I did! What a let down! Remember, our actions DO affect
others, and we need to be intentional and represent Christ in ALL that we
do.
Happy
Growing!
Very good reminder for all of us!!
