Is What You See What You Get?

Recently, I had a conversation with an acquaintance about life and the realization of how a person can only change if they make the choice to change.  I walked away feeling sad for the hurt that this person was feeling. As the day progressed, I recognized that I may have been the only bible this person read.
I wondered why she opened up so much to me. Was it because of the light that excreted from my face? Was it because she knows I work at a Christian radio station? Was it because her thoughts were "she works at a Christian radio station so she has a special 911 connection with the man upstairs."
Whatever the reason is not as important as the words I say or said to her.
Whenever there is an opportunity to brag on Jesus or talk about him, I take it.
It doesn't matter if it's a small story of a blessing that happened that day or a fire that I had to walk through years ago.
Bragging on Jesus means being his representative and his mouth piece and it is very important. When someone sees me in the flesh; I pray they see Jesus in the spirit.
I hope it is the reason why some people are drawn to me.
What if it is my character that attracts people to talk to me? Again, I would have to direct your attention to the one that I belong to. It's kind of like a dog. If a dog is mean, it normally means that the owner is mean. I'm not a dog (although my Sadie and I are cute; lol) however I have taken on the characteristics of the Lord. I've made my mind up to be changed from the inside out. Therefore, my joy or hurt on the inside are clearly seen on the outside.
I can only hope that my friend walked away from me with a breath of fresh air and a changed heart.

My heart's desire is to be transparent and genuine just like Jesus.
