Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Colossians 4:5

 

As a child growing up, my dad always used to say “think son, think”. His emphasis was to always think through my actions, so I will make right choices. I still can hear him saying those words to me.

 

As a child of God, you always have to think about your interactions towards those outside the faith. Do they see Christ in you? Do they see your actions similar to what they might have read or heard that mirror that of Jesus Christ? You are to be the example for them to experience the Spirit of Christ, living inside of you. If they see worldly behaviors, you send them mixed messages which could steer them away from any desire to accept Jesus into their life.

 

Just remember those words, “think child of God, think” when you go out the door and into the world. They are watching you, and what they see should give them something to desire, the grace and mercy of a loving God. “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise.” Ephesians 5:15
