Everyday is a brand new day, everyday is a journey.
When I first found the story below, I knew I had to share it with the rest of you. Actually, I laughed out loud, because which one of us hasn't messed up and behaved in a very unflattering way? We are all human. We all make mistakes. I hope you enjoy and may it bring a smile to a dreary day.
I was driving down the street one day and pulled up behind a man at a
red light. I looked at his car and I saw a bumper sticker on the back
that said, “Honk, if you love Jesus.” So the light turned green, and as I
got in the left lane to pass him, I beeped my horn a few times and
waved.
Well, I apparently infuriated that fellow. He had forgotten about the
bumper sticker, so he threw his hands up in the air and started yelling
at me out his window. I couldn’t tell exactly what he said, but I know
for sure it wasn’t “Jesus loves you.”
As a believer, you’re going to live your life under a microscope. When
people find out you’re a Christian, they’re going to look at how you
live your life and make a judgment by seeing your attitude toward others
and how thankful you are to God for the blessings He’s given you. Fair
or not, that’s how it goes!
So how do we live in front of a watching world? Humbly. Accept that
you’re not perfect. Give thanks for the many blessings in your life,
knowing who gave them to you. Ask forgiveness when you make mistakes and
show grace when others do. Serve the Lord passionately and you’ll be a
powerful witness to a watching world.

Have a Blessed day everyone.
