You're Sending Out A Message

We are sending out messages with our lives. In everything we do, we tell people what we believe, what we like and don't like, who we are, if we follow God, and on. We are sending it out in the clothes we wear, the words we speak, the music we listen to, the movies we watch. We send out a message in what we do and that tells others and ourselves who we are and what we believe. You can see this when you see people listen to music, do whatever their boy friend wants-that's what they believe. We aren't even conscious of it yet we are always doing it. Don't you want people to receive the "right message?" Next, the next question to ask is what message am I sending out? In my words, thoughts, the sites I look up on the internet, my language, how I spend my time-is that sending out the message that I love people and love God? Is it saying that I love God fully or some of the time.
You are sending a message out to everybody.
Even people you don't know. You are sending a message to your friends, neighbors, family, teachers, youth pastor, co-workers, and boss.There are going to be some people that you only see once in your life-what will they see? Are they going to say, "I want what she has!" Or are they going to not want to be in a church because of what we do? What message are they seeing?Everyone is seeing it.That's right. They can tell who you follow by what you do here. God says don't be like the world even though you're in the world. Have our messages be different than the one's the world is sending out! Have our's be one's of love, acceptance, grace, and forgiveness. Think twice before you do what you've always done.
Have our's be the message that Jesus Christ gave to this world dying of hope and desperate for love.
