Do others see Christ
when they look at you?!

Journal entry from 06-06-12:
Had a complete stranger approach me at the gym tonight and tell me- I was just as beautiful on the inside as I was on the outside and not to change because that is extremely rare to find. Before I was given this compliment this person said not to take it the wrong way but they had been observing the way I acted, interacted with others, and carried myself and had also heard what others had said of me.
*Made me stop and think: watch what you do, say, how you interact, your facial expressions, your clothing etc. because you never know who could be watching you. NEWS FLASH: people observe, study, and watch you so be careful. You never know YOU may be the only Bible that these people ever read, see, or encounter.
Our aim should be to show off our hearts not our bodies, not our cars, not our money.
In John 13 Jesus is teaching His disciples and giving them an example to follow. What better example to follow than one of Christ Jesus. Yeah having role models and mentors is great but our number one goal in life should be to become more and more like Christ.
In John 13, Christ says that we refer to Him as “Master” and “Teacher” and that He has laid down a PATTERN for us to mimic. He wants us to do what He does (in this particular story: SERVICE, He is washing his disciples feet). He is stating the obvious here. He says a servant is not above his master nor an employee above the manager. Closing, He states that if you understand what He is instructing then to ACT LIKE IT and to be blessed.
The proof is in the pudding. Christ shows us what to do and we love and want to obey Him so WE DO IT. Point blank, if you love Jesus, you will look, act, and live differently and OTHERS WILL NOTICE!!!
