Perfection. We all know we aren’t perfect. To think we are is crazy. For people to expect it from us is even crazier… but, some people do look our way… and while perfection is not expected… obedience is.
So many of us have stated our faith… our love for God… we’ve shared events we love… events we want others to experience… it carries us… we want other people to follow us… why don’t they?
Maybe because when real life hits again… we don’t live it too impressingly? Maybe those same people we try to “encourage” into our path, see how we live our everyday life and think… “no, thank you.” Maybe? Just maybe?
It is easy to act one way any given Sunday… any given church event… but how do we act on the other days? What image are we portraying?
It is human nature for people to be un-impressed with our “fun” weekend, GNO, club night stories/pictures… it is human nature for people to not listen after they see things like that.
No, it is not expecting perfection… it is just simply living a obedient life. If we want people to follow what we try to share… we need to live it every.single.day.
Be an image that make people say “wow”… be an image that impresses… be an image God would be proud of… it may not make us the fun & popular ones amongst some friends… but it will with God. And… I choose God.
While I am far from perfect, I am choosing to do my best to live a more “wow” type of life… because once I proclaim love for my Lord… someone will always be watching. Always.
