Inward Change

Has your appearance ever changed so drastically, that some people did not know who you were? I have had shoulder length hair since I began with my current company in October. Well this past weekend I got it all cut off! Monday at work I loaded the company truck up for my job this week and after getting out and walking toward the warehouse, one of the managers stepped in my way and would not let me enter. He seriously did not know who I was and even after telling him, he still was not sure. He physically was stopping me from entering the warehouse, I had to show him my drivers license to prove my identity.

I believe that this is the kind of change Jesus is looking for from us, a change that takes peoples breath away and leaves them wanting what we have going on in our lives. This kind of change is difficult, but not impossible. Wanting to please Jesus should be at the for front of all we do every minute of every day. We should not have to say we are followers, our actions, should do our talking. After we all went back inside to work and had a great laugh, it hit me hard about the series we are doing at Church now called The Practical Atheist and how I have accepted Jesus but really have not turned my life over to Him fully yet. I am working hard everyday from now till I die, to please The Lord in everything I do and turn over to Him what is His. Thank you Jesus for saving me!
