Reflect Jesus

I love when i get the opportunity to share Jesus unintentionally. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine (Who isnt saved, and actually denies the existance of Jesus or God) about life in general, and what our plans were for the future so far. She asked me,

"So, hows life treating you so far? you know, since you're not working anymore and all."
"Great actually."
"Are you looking for a job?"
"Nope."
"Do you have lots of money?"
"Nope."
"But, you can still pay your bills and house?"
"Yeah, for the most part."
"Wow, God must be on your side."
".....Exactly."

Isnt that the point of our lives?? Pastor JB says, "Live a life that demands a response. Live a life so that when people meet you, or see you, they say, 'That cant be anything other than God. Theres no other explination.'" 2 Corinthians 3:18: "And we, who ..reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His likeness…“ When people see us, We should reflect Jesus. He ought to shine through; in our everyday lives, work, school, homes, etc. He should be seen in what we say, and in what we do. Would anything be different if Jesus came and took your place? Would something have changed this morning as you were getting ready for work? How about if He took your place at work? Thats exactly what He wants. He wants to make himself known to others through our actions. Honestly, its much easier that way. For the longest time, ive tried getting my friends to come to church just once by telling them about Jesus, the Bible, etc. It sucks to hear, but, most people dont really care about what you have to say to them. They want proof. they want action. it wasnt till i gave up on it and told God that i wasnt cut out to spread His word, that i realized i was going about it the wrong way. I just started focusing my life on Him, and tried living as He would to the best of my abilities, and people came to me naturally, wondering what was different about me. That opens the door for everything else.

I was trying to explain this the best I could to Kale last night, about being and looking like Jesus to everyone else. He said to me, "Is that why you growed your beard, and wear your old sandals? So that you can look like jesus all the time?" bahahahaha! I was laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes. I hope you're not taking me as literal as Kale was, he's only 5! Im not talking about physically resembling him, growing beards, wearing robes, beat up sandels etc. Im talking about His character, attitude and nature. Think about what people see when they think about Jesus, weather they belive in Him or not, they see the same things. Generosity, love, genuine, compassion. He was also very receptive. He welcomed anyone who came to Him: Intelligent, illiterate, childish, desperate, the sick. He was a "friend" of sinners. What better friend can anyone have than Jesus?

What do people see when they look at you? Do they see you as being generous in the same ways that Jesus was? Do they see you being genuine about your faith and your commitments? Does your life, your heart, and your nature reflect His glory?
