Day 21 - Is Your Faith Showing?

In a court of law, would you be found guilty of having your faith showing? Can your neighbors, co-workers, clients, the cashier at your local grocery store point an accusing finger at you and proclaim "I saw her/him practicing their faith!"?  I do not mean that you carry around a 20  pound Bible and declare to the world "I AM A CHRISTIAN!" I don't mean that you ask everyone on the street, "Do you know Jesus?" I am speaking of the way you live your life?

2 Corinthians 3:2-3:

You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not ontablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

I am also not talking about being religious. Religion is man-made. I have a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ. I love the analogy Scarlet used to compare her relationship to Jesus to a relationship when we fall in love with someone. You want to shout about that love from the roof top. I can honestly say that in relationships, I have become cautiously optimistic. You meet someone, you fall in love, things seem to be going great, you share your joy with your friends, then, poof, that person disappears from your life. You stop talking about your 'ex' to all the friends with which you shared your former happiness. You feel confused, hurt and angry. Take heart, because in a relationship with Jesus, He has promised to NEVER leave or forsake you.

Hebrews 13:5

He Himself has said, “ I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,” 

I am overjoyed to share with you that I am in a relationship with a wonderful man. The most wonderful quality he has is is great love for the Lord. I can't begin to express the joy I feel when we are standing next to each other in church praising and worshiping our Lord together. I know that neither of us is perfect...only Jesus is perfect, but as we begin our journey together, we serve the Lord by serving one another. I pray that our walk will be a living letter...known and read by all men.

Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to share my faith. Open doors for me to share it more often. I pray that I will change the atmosphere wherever I may be because of the Spirit who lives within me.

I love you, Lord
