walk the walk

“One of the best ways to reach our culture is to live compelling lives.”

Gary Thomas

The people we come in contact with aren’t in need of our words, our take on what is wrong with culture and what is right with God. They are in need of seeing us as people who live what we believe. They need to see integrity. They need to sense our love and compassion. They need to know we care…not just about them coming to know God and changing, but that we care about them right where they are. They need to see something in us that draws them to Christ. I am convinced that will not come because of our ‘preaching’ at them but because they see us living lives that defy explanation. They see us living in peace when our circumstances may look chaotic. They see us slowing down when life is frantic. They see us living authentically, not pretending that a life with God is always easy.

May you live in integrity today.

May you live in a place of compassion and love.

May you reflect Christ to those around you in a compelling way.

May you ‘walk the walk’.

Grace and peace,
Deb
