when spirituality gets in the way of your testimony people cant see God. they can only see you. i talked to a friend recently, someone who i haven’t talked to in a long time. she is a bit tired and is looking for her way in life. you cant just talk about Jesus, you have to live him out. if it means showing up at work or being on time for a meeting, it if means going out of your way to do a favor for a friend, if it means looking for a job and actually keeping it, if it means cleaning toilets with utmost excellence — then do so. sometimes what we do is more important than what we say. and sometimes religion — yes even ministry, can get in the way of our testimony. sometimes the bible verses needs some support action, doesn’t mean you have to be perfect, you just have to be real and mean what you say by doing it. it is as simple as making your yes a yes and a no a no, no excuses – not even heart issues.
“Wherever you are be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.” Jim Elliot
