Louder Than Words

I urge you to live a lift worthy of the calling you have received. (Ephesians 4:!)

Adapted from a daily devotional by Billy Graham:

There is a saying “the only bible some people will ever read is what they see displayed in the life of a Christian.”

Ouch.

They way we live speaks much louder than our words. Our actions are the demonstration of what is in our heart. They way we live speaks of what we believe.

There are many people we know who profess that they don’t believe in God, or the bible, but they can’t deny the power of His holy Word if they see how it changes our lives, guides our decisions and shows itself in the way we live.

My prayer is that they don’t see me, but Christ through me, and the fruit He desires be demonstrated in my daily life: Live, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

What do people see when they look at you?
