You know, if we're honest with ourselves, living out your faith can suck sometimes. We always say that we "want to show Christ in our lives" and we "want to shine God's light" but, do we ever actually do it? Sure, we might wear a t-shirt every now and then that might say something slightly religious on it but, do we ever get out there, roll up our sleeves, and SHOW God to our friends? Some of you might. I know that I have been struggling with living out my faith recently. I get this stupid idea in my mind that what people think of me is more important than glorifying my God. Dumb, right? I try hard to live a life that reflects God but this little thing called "the world" keeps getting in the way. Y'all know what I'm talking about. You get everything going how it's supposed to be and then Friday night comes along. You hang out with friends that might not be Christian and you joke around and, all of a sudden, that Christian life you were living is out the window. It says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, “ Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” See, God made us. We are a temple of Him. Why would we not glorify the Creator of...well...everything? Give God the glory. He deserves it.
