“Be a Window”
“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”
Colossians 1:27 KJV
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20 KJV
When I was a child and someone would stand in front of the television during movie night or one of our favorite shows, the snarky remark to say them was, “You make a better door than a window!”
In other words, “Move! I can’t see!” This was before rewind tv, if you missed something during the show, you had to wait until the re-run or be lucky enough to have a VCR tape in to record it.
In regards to our walk with Christ, are we standing in the way? Are we allowing others to see Him through us? As a younger Christian, much of my focus was on myself - my victories, my prayers being answered, my healing, my blessings, my dreams, my calling, and so forth.
As I’ve walked with the Lord for several years now, my priorities have changed. I’ve begun to realize that it’s not about me. Jesus was our prime example - He who thought it not robbery to be equal with God took upon Him the form of a servant! Paul was continually identifying as a servant of Christ, going so far as to say that he was being poured out as a drink offering for those under his care.
I want to encourage you today! Be a window! Allow others to see Jesus through you. How? By becoming a servant! The Bible says the greatest among you is the greatest servant. :)
In a world where people’s cameras are always running both figuratively and literally looking most times to catch you doing something wrong, let them catch you doing something right - serving, giving, imitating Christ!
It’s so easy to be a door, to be conformed to this world, allowing its influence to mold us - “look at my house, look at my car, look at my new hairstyle,” etc. and there’s nothing wrong perse with any of these things, but they serve as doors, barring others’ view from what’s important JESUS!
Be encouraged today! Be a window! What we make happen for others, God will make happen for us!
In other words, Move out of the way, ;) the world needs Jesus :)
Remember, What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you!
In Christ,
Joshua Scott Zeitz
“Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; and walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.”
Ephesians 5:1-2 AMP
