It’s pretty simple and easy to help a person by telling them
what they need to do when we ourselves, don’t do it. It’s so true when they say
if you “talk-the-talk” then you need to “walk-the-walk”.
When we want to help out someone and influence them towards
God, we first have to have this FEAR of reflecting on our attitudes and our
life. “Have I done what I’m telling others to do? Have I personally done what
I’m about to advise this person to do? Does my life back up what I’m about to
say about This Wonderful God? Are the people seeing Him in my life and through
my attitudes?” When we have this zeal of analyzing our lives, we naturally lead
people to God.
It’s not about being a perfectionist, but it’s the fact of being
conscious of your attitude when you speak and act. This makes all the
difference.
Speaking and writing beautiful things about God, having a conversation
that leaves someone speechless about what they have to do or stop doing, is not
the same as doing it. Realize that sooner or later these wonderful words will
turn into a bad example leading others to do the same – have a fame of being
alive when in reality they’re dead.
Let’s lead others to God with our actions! How do we do
this? Show who you really are, an imperfectly simple person aspiring to be like
the Lord Jesus.
You become a greater influence with your life than with your
words.
Remember: Your relationship with God is reflected on your
attitudes, not only your words – together they make a set.
