Silent Witness

Have you ever met somebody that, without any great effort, just seemed to make an impact on your life? Somebody who went completely out of their way to do something extraordinarily special, during a time when you needed it most...? In the society that we live in, today, life is lived more as a career than a blessing from God! What I mean is, where are those people who used help a sweet ole' lady cross the street? Those who would just share a friendly smile to a passer-by in the market? What has happened to simply calling up a friend just to ask how they are doing? It almost seems that we have lost touch with each other, as people!! By all means, don't get me wrong here. We have to work our jobs, take care of families, attend those meetings, etc... However, when life becomes so "busy" that we forget about the most important of God's creations, "people" then we have drastically failed to recognize our purpose in life! How many people do you know that have passed from this life to their eternal reward in Heaven? What did they take with them? According to the teachings of the Bible, the only thing that will carry over to our life with Christ in Heaven will be the other "people" who have accepted HIM as their Savior!! You see, the things of this world...ALL OF THEM are temporary; people are the only things that are ETERNAL!! The man/woman that you wish not to sit beside on the bus, get frustrated at in the check-out lane @ Wal-mart, look down upon because their hygeine is lacking while in the doctor's office...those are the "things" that we can invest in and take with us to Heaven!! If I lost everything else in this life, materially, then I have lost nothing...but if I lose the opportunity to share Christ with somebody, then I have lost it all!!! Investments of this world are good! (I wish I had just a few more...lol!) However, even better than our investments at the bank is the time that we can share with another! As the body of Christ, the representatives of Him in this life, let's share the Good News of His love with someone today!! "Lord, make us more like you!!!" May we become those who go out of their way to help others...may we become those Silent Witnesses!!!!!
