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.
