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!
