When we accept Jesus into our hearts, we die to thyself. My life has changed in the way I think, who is in my circle of friends and how I conduct myself. I have learned that I gave up my right to be sensitive to other's opinions of me or my Faith. That I can no longer fight back with my words or tongue. That my initial reaction is to defend or justify. All those feelings and emotions and actions are of my flesh. When I asked the Lord to come in to my heart and change me, He did , therefore all those things of this world can no longer be a part of me. A true witness of a life of Christ is a changed life. Someone ran into my husband who knew him for years and could not get over how great he looked and she actually said, "you look the best you ever have." For what she saw was the peace in the face of a changed and rested man. No longer a worldly man who fought hard and lived hard. And she saw the change right before her eyes. How we live, act, speak and react is our testimony. We cannot share with people our new life and still conduct ourselves as our "old self". Whether it be swearing, lying, drinking, cheating, temper tantrums etc... Those behaviors do not bear good fruit and they no longer live in us . Be the one who shows others how to be, how to live, how to love. Share your God with others and always be on guard and aware of yourself. For you never know who is watching and whose life is about to be saved. Have a great day in Him!
2 Corinthians 5:17
