What's the meaning to my being?

"Actions vs Words"

SCRIPTURE
Matt 8:3-4
Jesus reached out and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be clean." Then and there, all signs of the leprosy were gone. Jesus said, "Don't talk about this all over town. Just quietly present your healed body to the priest, along with the appropriate expressions of thanks to God. Your cleansed and grateful life, not your words, will bear witness to what I have done."

OBSERVATION
Now I understand why Jesus said not to talk about it! It's so important that our light shines out of the way we live - our character. The saying goes, "Actions speaks louder than words".

APPLICATION
What are my actions looking like? What do they say? Be cautious and be open to God leading me in my every day doings and actions. And if there's anything in me that hinders others to see Christ, I would be willing to work on that and be accountable to others to help me.

PRAYER
Lord, thank You for Your Word, such a great mirror and resemblence of how You would like us to be. Holy Spirit thank You for Your grace and guidance. I am open to You God and I welcome You in my life! Help me to live Your way! In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
