Act Like It!

Do you remember receiving notes like these: "Do you like me?  Check yes or no."  or "Are you mad at me?  Mark yes or no." or "Will you be my friend? Yes or no." How simple and directly to the point! The Believer's walk is just as simple: "By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother. For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another." (1 John 3:10-11, NASB).  How much more simple can it be: God's Children (those who bear His Name) very simply should ... act like it!  We refrai from saying unkind things, we don't participate in unholy conversations and behavor and activities; we carefully choose what we watch and listen to and read; we do not practice dishonesty nor do we lack integrity; most importantly we don't neglect time spent with The Father nor reading His Word. So that others will know the Father and His Son, Believers are faithfully serious about how we represent Jesus; our lives will be starkly different than the world's.  Do I love God? Does my life mirror the life of Christ?  If the answer is "yes," ... act like it!
