People should see the reality of Jesus in us

 

Be who God made you to be!

Praying That People Will See the Truth of Jesus In Me

A very encouraging exchange happened to me several years ago. A person who was somewhat skeptical about Christianity posed this question to me regarding my faith in Christ, “You really believe this stuff, don’t you?”

I’m not even sure the person meant it in a complimentary way, but I was encouraged and received it as a compliment.

PRAYER:  Lord Jesus, I pray that you would be alive in me in such an unmistakably authentic way that the people I encounter would say, “Hmm, this Jesus stuff must be real and life in Him must be true because I believe I genuinely see it in this person.”

The Power of Authenticity

One of the factors that can have the most significant positive influence for God is when our unbelieving friends, relatives, co-workers and neighbors see in our lives that God is real.  When a person has an authentic relationship with God—a relationship with God that genuinely impacts his or her everyday life—that is a very persuasive truth to encounter.

We Can Be Authentic

Most people are pretty good at detecting phoniness—and they don’t like it. While it is not possible for us to be perfect, it is possible—with God’s help—to be authentic.
