Living the Faith so Others May See

Prayer-Soldier

Many blessings to all,

When we love someone, do we not tell our friends? When we love someone, do we not like to keep remembrances of them with us? When we love someone, do we not extol what has captured our love? When we love someone, do we not like spending as much time with them as possible? Blessed are those who have such a relationship with God.

We are presented with so many challenges within a secular and politically correct society such that we are encouraged to hide our faith. We are comfortable when we are with others that share our love of God, that understand the joy of the Holy Spirit. We are comfortable when we worship in our church, but the truest test of our love is when we are speaking with those who do not know and understand what it means to have a relationship with God.

What do we gain if we hide our love of God for purposes of social acceptance? Who can give us anything greater than the love of our Lord? If we truly understand the answer, then, we see there is really nothing gained, in fact we fail others when we hide our faith.

Why do we fail others? The answer is that if others do not see the Lord in us, they may forever remain blind to the blessings that they could find through God. When others see our love of God, when others see us living in our faith, others may wonder what they are missing when they only seek the matters of this world. By living so that others can see the blessings of our faith, we not only demonstrate our love of God, but we share the love of our Lord so that others may see and join in the kingdom of God.

May the Lord be with you,
