Are You Convinced Of Your Conviction? Your Actions Reflect Your Conviction.....

A "conviction".....a firmly held belief or opinion.   Are you convinced?   Meaning are you completely certain about "what you say you believe"?   As a matter of fact.....what do you believe?   

What you have to understand is that your actions speak.   They talk on your behalf.   What consumes you shows.   It is relevant in what you do and what you say.   Relevant means that it is closely connected.   It is pertinent.   Your actions "translate" and "reflect" what you believe.    Therefore your conviction is revealed.   

When you step outside of yourself and you look at everyone that is connected to your life.....your family, your friends, your children, your co-workers, and your associations.......what do you want for them?  What do you want the end result of their life to be?   When its all said and its all done....what do you want them to have and to believe?   When you step outside of who you are and what you want and you put others before yourself.....what is it that you want for them?   

What if you are the only Jesus they see?   What would the reflection be?   Would they see Him clearly?   Would they see His love, His compassion, His trust, and His belief?   Would they see hope and destiny?   Or would He be covered up?   Covered to such a point that they can't see the hope, or the trust, or the belief.  Covered by life.   Covered by situations.   Covered by circumstances.   Covered by sin.   

If you were the only Jesus that your children could see......would they see deliverance?   Would they see destiny?   Even more.....would they see a foundation without holes.   

If your life was the life that God wanted to use in this present time.....would you be able to stretch out your hands and turn around and say.....here I am Lord....use me?   Would you be willing to surrender ALL in order to be used by God?   Would you be able to say.....not my will Lord....your will be done?   Would you be able to say.....I trust you Lord....no matter what?   

The thing is.....

Your life is the life that God desires to use.     Will you let Him use you?   Because you might be the only Jesus your children, your co-workers, your friends, and your family see.     Jesus is a reflection of God.   God is love.   He is light to those who are lost and hope to those who have need.   Will you be a vessel that displays His light, His love, and His hope?   

Will you be one convinced of your conviction and allow your actions to reflect your belief in who God is?
