AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST: Shine, Shine, Shine!



John 15:5 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net



When We Are Attached To Jesus Christ 
And 
Are Drawing All Our Sustenance, Our Nourishment, From Him Alone
Our Thoughts And Desires
Our Words And Deeds Aka Our Conduct And Character 
Are Changed To Be Like Christ's! 

We Are What We Eat! 
We Get Fleas From Where We Sleep! 
We Are Changed By What, By Whom, We Behold
And
We Emulate What, By Ear, We Devour! 
Everything Leads Us To The Judgment Hour!

We May Say To All Who Will Hear Us That 
We Are Born-Again, Bible-Believing
Spirit-Filled, Faithful-To-Christ
Heaven-Bound Christians 
But
Unless
And 
Until 
Our Outward Showing Reflects Our Inward Changing
It Is All Hot Air! 
We Will Be Just Shooting The Breeze
Speaking Just Because We Still Have Within Us 
The Breath Of God Which Animates Our Jars Of Clay! 

Beloved, 

General Moses Was In God's Presence Forty Days 
And 
When He Returned To His People
They All Positively Knew It: He Shone Gloriously! 

Is Your Life Perfumed With The Grace Of Heaven
Giving A Blessed Hint To All Observers
- Interested Or Bearing Malice -
That You Are Almighty God's Property
And
You Are Heading To Glory!?! 

Can You Say With Exact Clearness That
Your Present Life Is Leading You Unerringly
To The Heavenly Home!?! 

Does The World Really See Jesus Christ's Holy Light 
Shining Out Of Your Private Life 
And 
Your Published Persona!?! 

Will Anyone Say Of You That 
They Know Of A Surety That You Have Been With 
And 
Are Shut In With Our Lord, Christ The King!?! 

Did You Shine For Jesus Today!?! 
Will You Shine For Jesus On The New Day Just Ahead
- Should Life Be Spared - 
And
You Are Granted Another Opportunity
To Do The Good And The Right
And
To Be A Credentialled-By-Faith Ambassador For Christ!?!

We All Have One Opportunity
One Day
One Life
One Hope
One Lord
One God Glorious
And
One Happy, Heavenly, Heavenly Home!
Won't You Please Let Your Light Shine Now
To Draw Some Wanderer Near To The Lord!?!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Dare To Fill A Need:
Shine All Over Your World!

Pssst! What Are YOU Wearing?!




What type clothing do you wear?
Clothing of Honor, clothing of Disrepair?
A little bit tattered, a little bit dark
Or perhaps like a rainbow as appeared across from the ark?

Perhaps a bit sedate?
Flamboyant - is that you?
Is your outward apparel showing you true
Or is it camouflaging a spirit in need
Or perhaps it is covering a spirit of faith and good deeds?

We are what we eat!
We shout we are what we wear
BUT is the outward display
Covering the inward working today?

Public life private reality
Turn it over - Turn it around
Are you true to yourself
Or perhaps you're living your life upside down?

Pretty and clean clothes speak of dignity!
Tattered and unkempt speak of indignity!
Do you meditate to mediate
Or do you mediate to machinate?

Do you hate and hurt
Or comfort and love?
Are you inspired by God or
Do you conspire against God?
Or are you wearing brass knuckles
In soft and white kid gloves?

Do you fear the Lord or do you jeer the Lord?
 Do you share or do you cause despair?
Do you mitigate or do you litigate?
Do you defy and lie?
Do you you conspire and try?

Are you a pest that tests?
Are you a flower that congests?
Are you getting your chores for the Lord done
Or are you indulging in whoredoms?

Do you toil for good or do you foil real good?
Do you spread words of faith or spew words of distaste?
Are you a worker worthy of hire or a worker one can't wait to fire?
Is your smile a guile or is your guile a smile?

Do you offer a rope of hope
Or is your offer of hope a rope?
Are you grabbing Grace
Or are you hiding your face?

Are you living a lie?
Are you lying to live?
Are you dying for a cry?
Are crying to die?
Are you looking to the Eastern Sky or are you being distracted by that Evil Tsetse fly?

So... what clothing are YOU really wearing today?
