i splurged on some really cute summery diapers this month. i had visions of my little man all ready for a luau in just his bright colored diapers. exactly what we needed for a happy baby (and mommy) during this hot summer. they were more expensive than i usually buy...but because of their brand name...i trusted they would be worthwhile. and...they were so stinkin cute.i am so bummed...they don't do their job at all. he'd really be better off diaper-less. what a let down.
as Christ-followers let's make sure that we don't do that to people. it's not enough to look really good and wear the brand name...'Christian'...we also have to do our jobs.
we must live lives of integrity...because when we look good and wear the brand name...we win people's trust. and when we win people's trust...we don't want to let them down.
Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel - Philippians 1:27
Hope to stay clothed in His righteousness...appreciate you gal!

ReplyDeletewhat a great analogy and so true! We need to make sure we don't let anyone down indeed and truly represent Jesus in a worthy manner!
