"For me to live is Christ..."

Philippians 1:21
  "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain."

  What a simple verse. These is nothing confusing about it. It is easy for me to rattle this verse off when asked what my life verse is. And I do mean what I say, but do I always mean it? Do I always live it?

  "For me to live is Christ.."

  Wow.

  Everything I do, every word I say, every thought I think. (That's where it gets scary). Do I always live for Christ, or at least try to? No, I don't. I may not say do something sinful when I get cut off while trying to change lanes, but I may say something nasty. And I may not even say something, but I may think something, and that could worse. It is by God's grace alone that I can live like Christ. And it is my responsibility as a Christian to proclaim Christ to the world. "For me to live is Christ..." even when I drive.
