I was asked by my pastor what being the life of Jesus means to me. Here you go…
Being the life of Jesus means to me
having a love affair with God and having a love affair with people
where I get lost in giving the best of me to this world
and sacrificing the worst of me
so that I don’t screw up how people see God
because whether I like it or not
whether I want it to or not
people perceive God by the character of his people
by my character
Being the life of Jesus means
that I love people wherever I am
that I create what God wants me to create
that I inspire and challenge people to want something bigger then themselves
that I care for people even when I want nothing to do with it
that I speak up for the voices of those marginalized
that I forgive and humble myself
that I be the change I want to see in the world
