Manna in the Morning

How are people reading you? I know that’s a weird question. But, it is true that people read us all the time. They read our body language. They read between the lines of what we say. They read the expressions on our face when we talk with them... they’re looking for signals as to whether we are serious or joking. The Apostle Paul once wrote to the church at Corinth and said, “You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men.” (2 Corinthians 3:2) That statement by Paul at least indicates that we are conveyors of a message about what we believe. I know that you’ve heard it said that “what you do speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you are saying.” In other words, we need to make sure that our message is in agreement with our behavior. Someone has also said that “you are the only sermon some will ever see!” So, as a Christian, realize that others are reading you... make sure that the message that comes through is one that expresses the presence of Jesus in your life!
