Representation of God?

When I accepted Christ into my life in high school, I never knew the meaning of representation of Christianity. Big mistake. I accepted Christ on my own and didn’t really know much at all, so I went back to my old life of just being whatever. In college, my whole life changed accurately for the most part. Representation was everywhere about different religions. I look at Muslims and they made it clear they were Muslim, I look at Buddhist and they made it clear about their religion, I look at my fellow Christians and I didn’t see it so clear. Many said they are Christians but if you were to talk into my class, you would hear swearing, sex talk (uncensored), talking guys’ bodies, girls’ bodies…etc. IT WAS CRAZY!!! I felt so convicted at the moment because I had to serious asked myself, CAN THEY SEE GOD IN ME? Can you ask yourself that? I had to change just about everything about me. Thank to God alone that can only happen because I was seriously depressed at the moment with the thought. If you look at 28:19-20, it talks about the great commission and what was left for us to do. Can you see God in me? Can you hear him in my voice? Am I living the Godly life? Is it the God in me? Or even check out 1 Peter 2:12. It is really powerful when you think about. Sometimes going and talking about God is embarrassing but you have to ask yourself, do you want others to have the same experience as you? I remembered, in high school, I was ashamed to talk about God and tell it to my friends. I was afraid they would laugh at me or even ditch me. But I thought to myself, I don’t care. I LOVE GOD. I lost a lot of friends but I gained many sisters and brothers and everyday we help each other. We endure so much from non-believers but we say, we love you and help them still. Crazy right? No, not at all. I love God and I want others to experience a relationship with him as well. My roommate and I decided not to go to bars and parties that are worldly. Why? Have you seen all the liquor, grinding, drinking and so much more? Why go there and get labeled as a party- goer? I don’t want that title. So far, we have seen many fights outside of our windows, many girls walking like drunks, and with guys, I am pretty sure they don’t know. I didn’t want that. I prayed when I saw a girl like that a prayed that she got home safely, or didn’t get raped that night. I prayed for those who fought because it might seem funny then, but losing a life nice is a killer. Are you getting my picture? Do you want to represent God like that? Ask yourself this question. Life isn’t always going to be easy. Not on earth. But with God in your life, He will protect you , heal you from pain, give strength, courage, and knowledge unreachable to any non-believer. Read his word, I can tell you from experience; it has been a wow experience. I love you guys.
