“What would Jesus be doing if He were walking in my shoes, in my
neighborhood, in the place I live, work, & recreate?” That’s a
question every Christ-follower is faced with, every day. Because when it
comes down to it, living life as a Christian is all about finding ways
to practically & actively love God, & love people in the same
way He does.
This doesn’t equate to following a divine “to do” list – rather, it’s
about being intentional & creative in living our lives… &
recognizing that our ways & means of “living like Christ would”
paints a portion of a picture, a conglomerate masterpiece made up of
many, many contributors that reflects the Awesomeness & Greatness of
our God… as well as the many facets of His character & personality
that are reflected in & through US – His handiwork.
We can wrestle through trying to figure out WHAT God wants for us to
do… looking for specific actions & behaviors, when in reality He is
wanting us to commit our ways to Him, & then find a way that makes
sense to us to answer the question: “What would Jesus be doing if He
were walking in my shoes, in my neighborhood, in the place I live, work,
& recreate?” For each of us, it will be different. A reflection of
God’s character. And a picture of His creative nature, evidenced in
& through our lives.
