An Example



Matthew 12:33
- "Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit."
 
     The decisions I make are crucial. They define who I am for they are all that people see. A person may only know me based on the choices I make and the behavior I embrace. Being a follower of The Lord means I must be and example. My choices must be wise, my decisions must be just, and my behavior must be respectable. However, I can not be wise, just, or respectable without asking God for each. It is only He that can make me a worthy example and it is I who must be willing to be one. Though being an example is indeed of importance it is of greater importance to remember I am no better than any other. I am only being an example for The Lord so others may too see my joy and happiness from God and in return choose to be an example as well. If the followers of God do not act like followers then what will make non followers want to change? It should not only be our job but our passion to lead others to Christ. For with out Christ people will fall, and who are we to keep them from the bridge?
