Reflecting Our Savior
Unemployment is still on the rise, as well as crime, scandals, medical issues, and many other disheartening issues of life. Many people are desperately seeking hope but many times in the wrong places. Or instead of getting to the root of their problems and taking the journey for true long term healing, they are looking for a quick fix … just something that will at least temporarily ease the pain.
I believe we can all agree that the world is in need of a Savior. God already sent a Savior for all of us but we need to present that Savior to those who don’t know him. For some of us that might mean first remembering for ourselves that we have a Savior and then making sure our light is shining for the rest of the world to see.
In the midst of a crisis or troubling times, there should be an obvious difference in how we as Christians handle ourselves. These are the times where our faith must outweigh our fears.
When the news reports tell of devastating times, we have to still hold on to the promises of God.
When the doctors give us a bleak health report, we must remember that God is still our healer.
When our jobs are threatening layoffs, we must remember that God is still our provider.
Times are changing, situations are changing, life is changing – but God and His love for each of us remains the same. That’s a truth that we must all embrace and draw strength from daily. No matter what obstacles we may face, we are always covered and protected.
Once we truly believe that for ourselves, then our lives will begin to reflect that truth and exude hope and life for everyone we come in contact with. When we embrace our Savior, joy and peace of mind will overflow from us and positively affect the lives of those around us.
You have no idea how many people are watching your walk, your demeanor, your attitude and your words. What are they seeing and hearing? Are you a reflection of the Christ you say you serve? Are others able to grow their faith by observing your life?
Let’s all make it our daily responsibility to be a walking, living example of God’s love. Let’s determine in our hearts to be a fountain of positivity in the midst of the chaos. Let’s serve others and be considerate of their needs before our own. Let’s represent the Kingdom in a way that leads others to our Savior instead of making them flee in the opposite direction.
Be the light that shines in the midst of darkness, illuminating the path to lead others to Christ so they can be introduced to Our Savior.
Scripture Of The Day: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." - Matthew 5:16 (NKJV)
