All Eyes On You

       I was looking at my blog stats recently (the info that tells me how many people visit the blog and what country they logged in from).  I always get so excited when I see that I have had the chance to reach people all over the world.  But honestly, I am overjoyed when 10 people visit my blog on any given day.  Guess what, I interact with more than 10 people everyday (well maybe not in the summer when I sit on my couch all day). I have learned from this blog that whether or not I am qualified or particularly inspiring I am an example.

       All of us as Christians are examples, whether we like it or not.  We are given the responsibility to represent the light of Christ in a world shrouded in darkness.  People, as soon as they find out you call yourself a Christian, look at you.  Whether they want to see the life of a true Christian or they want to catch you in sin they are watching you.  And if people don’t know for a fact that you are a Christian than they should be able to tell by the way that you act, they should notice something special.

       My goal is to live a life that makes people wonder what makes me different; a life that makes people think, “I want what she has”.  A prayer that I frequently repeat is this, “Dear LORD, fill me with your love to overflow.  Allow your light to radiate out of me and warm those around me.”  I unfortunately fail miserably at this on a regular basis, but that is why I have to keep asking God to help me out. We all need to be aware that whether we are in the “public eye” or not we do have eyes on us as Christians. 

        

       Are you being a good example to those around you?  How can we live a life set apart?  Have you ever seen someone and just known that they must be Christian?  Comments? Questions? Suggestions?  Drop me a line in the comments below!
