"We are an alter of broken stones, but You delight in our offering."
Matthew 5: 16..."Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
I love how Jesus says, "your Father". Talking to believers. To glorify, means to make a big deal over. A lot of christians live a life as a believer silently. To embarrassed, or concerned you might offend someone. Yet the rest of the world continues to offend us. Continuing to speak very clear what they feel, or what is pushed in our face today.
I love people. I will continue to love ALL people. But I will never hold back the truth. When someone does something that is offensive to me, or in front of a child, I will speak up. Or if someone asks how I feel about something. It's up to that person who asked me the question if they want to continue to be my friend. A true friend tells the truth in love. Or if I see a brother or sister in Christ going in the wrong direction. I will speak up. I would hope that a brother or sister in Christ would do the same for me. That's love. Not judging.
Our life should be evident of the change that Jesus Christ made in our life. You can't do the things you used to do, or talk the way you used to. You're still the same person, it's just that you're sensitive to the things that hurt Jesus.
Matthew 10:33 , " But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven"......I can't keep silent. Since the day I surrendered the old me to be changed, it's not even possible to keep silent of the life that lives within me. It's too good.
My Hallelujah here below is my greatest offering, and not just in the church building. Are you willing to praise him outside of the church building? We should be in public the way we are in church. It should not be a secret. Speak up, live out loud the way the rest of the world is. We should make a bigger impact than they are. We should be the salt and the light of the world. We should be known by the change in us and the impact it's made in our life. Then go out and impact this world.
For Your glory Lord
