Me? A Reflector? ( Day 11)

Hey Everyone! (:
Hope school's been okay, it's just the first week but persevere! : D

Today's verse come from Matthew 5: 13-16.

When I opened up my bible to that verse, I smiled. That's because my small group uses this verse! haha That's why we named our small group Salty Club.

I feel being "reflectors" of Jesus isn't easy. But that being said, we shouldn't just sit back and say "oh since it's impossible, I shouldn't bother trying". Instead, we should continually strive to show the love of God to other people as we have experienced this love ourselves. Something so good should be shared, don't you think so?(:

Remember the activity called Encounter Outside that we did at camp?
It's the one where we did random acts of kindness for people! You should continue to do so wherever you go. Be it helping an old lady cross the road ( i know this is SUCH a cliche example) or offering to help someone who is having difficulty carrying things.

Being a " reflector" also means not conforming to the ways of the world, such as not swearing even when your other friends swear (like free) or gossiping about others behind their backs.

By showing love and doing acts of kindness to others and also by resisting the ways of the world will you then be one that reflects Jesus.

It may be difficult to be different( because humans are so inclined to be like everyone else in order to be accepted) from the way the world wants you to be, but that should not stop you from trying to do so.

That is why we need to support each other in being reflectors of Christ.
Let us not just be "sunday christians" but we should reflect Him wherever we may be, all the time.

Have a good week ahead!
Youth sunday is near(: YAY haha
