A Free Spirit or a Jesus Freak


  Like most believers, I make a concerted effort to be different from the world. But why? Why do I not live and dress like the world? Why do I not read their literature and watch and listen to their entertainment? I like to think I do it because I am honoring God with my life. But at the same time I spend considerably more time thinking about how others perceive me, than whether or not the people around me see Christ in me. At the end of the day, do I want to be a free-spirit or a Jesus-freak?  
  It is a hard thing to think about when I am honest with myself. Like most human beings, I tend to ere of the side of pride and self-obsession. Yeah, ouch.  When I die, I do not want people to remember me as a free spirit who did not care what others thought about her. I want people to remember me a girl who was so concerned with pleasing my God and Savior that no one and nothing else mattered in this life.
