antioch - little Christ?

July 22, 2002

i've been thinking about the whole "little Christ" thing from last night.. and i was talking to a friend of mine about it tonight on ICQ. this is an excerpt of our discusison.

me: "i'd like to think i'm being a little Jesus everywhere i go but i don't know about that. i've got a lot of shortcomings and stuff, so like honestly i'm not doing the greatest of jobs with being a little Christ. one of my non-Christian friends from school, i wonder if he notices that i'm different and stuff"

my friend: "at York you mean??? I know that in all the things that i do, is not truely shwoing Jesus...I guess you can say that's it's kinda my goal yet I know i will never be even close to who Jesus is...He's just so perfect...but i know i can do the best that i can. I know i will come across many hardships but just knowing that God is right behind me makes me feel secured and confident. "

me: "yeah :0 i'm taking summer school with him

like the dude knows i'm Christian...... but i wonder if that really means something to him? *shrugs*
we'll never be like 'hypocritcally-free' because we're fallable.. but it is our life's journey to imitate Him and be more like Him :)"

my friend: "At times, other people don't have to see what you do in order to know that you're a Christian because the light of Jesus glows within you and it just shines to others....So maybe, just being who you are becasue you are a child of God is already showing him that you are a Christian..."

me: "hmmmmmmmmm :) that's interesting! i like that :)"

my friend: "so there you go...=) just be the person that God made you to be...His child...=)"

amen :) i love what she said at the end. that totally like puts to rest my negative thoughts aboud the whole thing. :)
