you should watch it!

last week we started 40 days of community. tonight we talked about reaching out. this week i have been thinking a lot about how people see me. i want to be someone people look at and just know that i am a believer. one of my very best friends in college was so solid and no matter what the situation she always had a smile on her face. not the fake kind of smile but the i really care about you kind of smile. you could just see Jesus in her. if you were having a bad day, just being around her made you feel better. i remember always wanting people to see me like i saw her. 

i think how people view us is very important. how can you reach lost people if you aren't living a life pleasing to Jesus? i mean, we all sin and fall short but learning from those falls is what sets us apart. we have to be different...act different...so people will see Jesus through us. 

so this week i am praying that i can be one of those people. that i can bring others to Jesus by who i am and how i live my life.
