Seriously . . . who are you?

Question to think about: Do people know who you really are?

While I waited to speak to a large group, a friend told me to be myself. As he walked away, I wanted to say, "Who do you think I am?"

It is necessary to assess how our
words
and
actions
reflect our identity.

We often get so consumed with the details of life that we forget our words and actions really do matter.

Look at Jesus. Christ portrayed who He was in every word and action . . . so much so that everything was dropped to follow Him . . . without question.


Walking along the beach of Lake Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers: Simon (later called Peter) and Andrew. They were fishing, throwing their nets into the lake. It was their regular work. Jesus said to them, "Come with me. I'll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I'll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass." They didn't ask questions, but simply dropped their nets and followed. (Matthew 4: 18-20, The Message)

Jesus,faithful God dwelling in the midst of humanity, used words and actions to give new life to individuals.

Think about the scene: Two fisherman, Simon Peter and Andrew did not ask questions; they dropped their nets and followed.

Do your words and actions reveal the presence and power of Christ in you?
Do others want to follow Christ because of what you say and do?
Seriously . . .
let your words
and
actions
reveal who you are in Christ . . .
and be a part of the transforming work of our faithful God dwelling with us.

Learning with you to let words and actions reveal Christ,
Kerrie
