One of the most amazing things to me about being a follower of Jesus Christ, is that I don’t have to go around door to door to tell others about Jesus. Telling others around me about God is just an added bonus.  I just have to live for him, to let others see him in me. It’s not always easy. Many days, I don’t have the strength or the energy to be cheerful and joyful all day long or even part of the day.
As Christians, we are called to live in such a way that glorifies our Father in heaven, or in other words, to “look like love.” I want to be able to live in such a way that allows others to see the God I serve alive in me. So many days, I think, “Oh, I should go visit this person or call this person who I keep saying I’ll call, or write to this person”, and I never do any of these things. I just keep rushing through life, making sure all the boxes that the world thinks are important are all checked off.
I recently re-heard a song called “Look Like Love” by Britt Nicole that made me think about the way I live my life.  In this song’s chorus, the lyrics are, “I want to look like love, be more than just enough, for the hearts that are broken, coming undone, it’s up to you and me to leave a legacy, if we’re all they ever see, I wanna look like, look like love.” I want to live in such a way that others who have never heard of Jesus and don’t know him can see him living in me.
I don’t want to just keep rushing through life, with no time to show God’s love to anyone. I want to live in such a way that brings others to him, just from watching how I live my life. I want to look like love.
