I've just thought a lot lately, what do people see when they see me? Do they see Christ??
I don't want to offend any one, but just because you wear only skirts, and grow your hair out long, it doesn't mean that you are a good Christian. Really, your relationship with Christ is not about being a "good" Christian, it's just about you and God. When you have a good relationship with God though, people do see Him, and that is when we really need to step out and show the love of Jesus to them.
You can be that ordinary girl with jeans and a t-shirt, and high top shoes, and you can go and tell others about Christ.
To stand out doesn't mean to be the only person out of 100 to wear the most modest outfit, and to not worry about what you look like, but to really show love.
There are people out there who need love and hope and with Christ living in us, we can truly give it to them.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love- John 4:8
So, if you spend your whole life thinking about being a "good" Christian, and then, right after that, turn around and don't love others because of what they look like, or how they act, then, the Bible says, you don't know God. Because....God is love!
Have a happy, happy week!

Yes, this is so true, we need to follow Jesus. Jesus didn't always do what was considered "right". He healed people on the sabbath and associated with people that Jews were not supposed to associate with. He did things with love, and cared about people. That's what we are here to do, we're not here to be "good" Christians. Great post Noelle! I can really see God in your life. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lissie! You are such an encouragement!
DeleteI know, it is so true, and we just really need to follow Jesus' example!

Yep...just because you dress pure on the outside doesn't mean you're dressed pure on the inside. But when you really love God, obey His Word, and have a close walk with Him, then what's on the inside will spill over to the outside. I want people to see God in me, inside and out :) Thank for posting this!
