I see you

They're watching. Every move. Every word. Every reaction and decision. They are watching you. They are watching me. Who? Them. All of the "thems" we know exist and many of those we don't. Am I crazy?  Naaahhh...at least not today!

You see many of us walk around, yelling how Christian we are, but living in a way that would turn even the most curious person OFF! When we get angry, curse words FLY! When we are hurt, STRONG walls are built! When we are afraid, we run and we HIDE! When we disagree with another person's opinions or life choices, we get LOUD, and most of the time refuse to even listen!

None of this is Godly. And quite frankly, people are looking at us. Our children who need an example of righteous living are looking at us. Our significant other who may not have strong faith is looking at us. The people at work who always hear your Tamala Mann Pandora station are looking at you. Kids in the neighborhood, elders at the grocery store, people on social media...EVERYONE!

It's easy to flip this to: We live for God and not for man; but each of us has a responsibility to "let our light shine". So, should people see perfection? Heck no! They should see mistakes made with dignity and sincere repentance. Should they see pretentiousness and hypocrisy? Nah. They should see genuine humanness being molded and shaped daily. Should they see judgment and division? Nope. They should see unity and love.

With that said, be on guard. They are watching. Your every step and action are being monitored by people who admittedly or secretly admire you. They are inspired by you. They are relying on you. Try to be your best you, even in your worst times to show them the power of God to pick all of us up and pull of us through.  Be Blessed! XOXO
