More Excellent Way

The infrequent times Mister Bill was out of town, home wasn't the same; actually, it was very different.  There were some notable\y positives, i.e. actually getting to hold the remote in my hand. The differences, however, are noticed in his absence. Do you wonder if, to others, your life is different because of Christ? Ephesians 5:8 says,  "walk as children of light." Do others see anything distinctively different in your life? Maybe it's not so much what they see but what they don't see. We live in a I've-got-my-rights-and-you-better-not-forget-it world and when people forget this, do I react in knee jerk fashion? That's not the walk-as-children-of-light way. No, Jesus came to show us a "more excellent way."  The absence of the world and its ways sometimes speak volumes and most effectively to an unbelieving world. Be different in a ... more excellent way!
