picture book.

I've been thinking alot lately about picture-books...yes, picture-books. The books that babies look at that have no words just amazing, colorful pictures. No words are necessary because the pictures so clearly illustrate what the author wants you to know or realize.

The life of a Christian should be no less than a picture-book.

Our actions and lives should just scream Christ. We should no longer look like Ivy or Jamie or Tim...but instead become a walking picture-book for Christ. The things we do, say, and think should never lead another astray, but instead lift others up.

We should live life in such an incredible, dynamic way that others don't need to hear us speak the name of Christ, but instead see Him all over us. Some tend to say you are on a "high-horse" or just too much if you live nothing but a Christ-centered life, but thats okay. People can say what they want to say because all that matters is that you are crazy in love with your Jesus.

Sometimes it gets hard, when you pour and pour yourself into people and they don't listen or care. But honestly, thats life. Alot of people completely ignore what you say while others act like they agree and then turn around to do the opposite. Asking for serious advice or confiding in someone seems silly to me, if you ignore them, but this is how some people act. You just can't let those people keep you from doing what you are suppose to do: love. You have to keep pouring out the love and truth of Christ to see others changed. No one can keep you from being a picture-book for the whole world to see.

So will you allow yourself to be a picture-book?
