Part III: Six Principles to Live By

Matt. 5:16 "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."

III. Never Let a Day Pass...Without Trying To Do Something For Jesus

Everyone ought to reflect on what Jesus has done for you, and then ask yourself, "What am I doing for Him?"

Not too long ago, everywhere you looked people were wearing wrist bands with W.W.J.D. on them. "What Would Jesus Do?" They drew a lot of attention , but the question is "did it change any action?" We were saved not to be like the world, but to be like Christ. Not for the world to bless us, but for us to be a blessing to the world.

Let me ask you a question. When people look at you, watch you or listen to you, who is it that they see and hear? We are to be His witnesses, and I believe people are ready for the real Jesus. Not some religious bigot, fake, and phony.

Of all the people in the world who show love, compassion, grace, forgiveness, and kindness, it ought to be us - God's children. It doesn't take that much effort to be like Jesus, if you are filled with Jesus. Ask the Lord to open a door and show you a way that you can glorify Him. If you do it for the right reasons, you will be blessed.
