Are you the Image of Christ?
When God finishes with us we will be the image of Christ.
Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
Are your eyes Christ like? Do you look at the same things Christ would? Do you look at other people the same way Christ would look at them? Do they see Mercy in your eyes? Or do they see hatred?
Are your Ears Christ like? Do you listen to Gossip? Do you listen to the things Christ would? Do you even listen at all… He that has ears, let him hear
Is your Mouth Christ like? Do you spread Gossip? Do you say words you shouldn’t? Do you control your tongue? Do you speak the words of Christ to others?
Are you hands Christ like? If you were to look upon Christ’s hands you would see scars left there by those nails… scars that now symbolize the Love He had for us…When others see your hands do they symbolize the love you have for them… IOWS, do you help others?
What about your feet? The Bible says that the preacher’s feet are beautiful…. {My wife disagrees} lol Seriously, the Bible says that because we use our feet to spread the gospel to the world…Do you spread the gospel while you are on the go?
These are just 5 areas in which we can become more Christ like…. there are many more areas… but I am convinced that if Christians would just master these areas the world would be a different place!


Su-she the fish
A Story…There once was aGoldfish named Su-she….(an exchange fish from Japan)Su-she never was satisfied…She always wanted more.You could feed her 3 times a day, and she wanted fed 4 times…You could buy her new gravel, and she wanted marbles…You could buy her a new house to put in her bowl, and she wanted the castle..But the one thing Su-she dreamed about…Was…Living outside that bowl!Day by day she watched people through her little glass window…They could walk from room to room,They could talk to each other..They could walk out the door..And she could hear them talk about going to the mall.And there she was…Stuck in a bowl…All she could do was swim in circles!AlthoughOn Sundays she would pretend she was her favorite NASCAR Driver,Tony Stewart…She loved the color of Tony’s Car!!And she couldn’t wait until Sundays…As the race was going on, she would pretend she was Tony…She would go around and around until she hit the side of the bowl!!! Then she would try to blame someone else!!!But ANYWAYOne day she devised a plan…
She heard her owners talk about going to the mall…So she thought to herself….”Today I am going to be a free fish!!!, no longer will I be shackled to this bowl full of water… If they can be free, I deserve to be free also… So when they leave…I am out of here!!”
Sure enough…Within the hourThe owners left to go to the mall…
Su-she thought to herself, “Here’s my chance!”
So she backed up as far as she could go into the lower corner of her bowl…Then as fast as she could, she swam towards the top of the water…Then….Up and out of the bowl she flew!!!Su-she felt the exhilarating feeling of flying for the first time in her life…
She began singing,
“Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty, I’m free at last!!!” But then…Ka plunk!!!Su-she hit the floor!!There she lay gasping for air!
And what she thought was freedom…Was actually Death!!!She forgot about one thing….
The Cat!!!
The lesson here: Sometimes we think life would be better “If only ________” (You fill in the blank)
But when we get what we think we want it is a whole lot worse than what we had.
Grass is not greener on the other side of the fence… it is an illusion!
