In all your ways

"In all your ways acknoweldge him" (Proverbs 3:6a)

        I have a gold cross necklace that I wear every day, and I have for years. It was a college graduation gift from my grandfather, so it is very special to me. I wear it for two reasons: it connects me to my late grandfather, and it reminds me of my Heavenly Father. I wear that necklace every day as a reminder of whose I am. It is a tangible thing to see and feel to help me remember that I am His. Being His means I am loved unconditionally, but it also means that I want to honor Him by doing things His way, whether anyone is watching or not. Which is easier said than done. Even though I strive to obey when no one is watching, sometimes people are watching me. And since I do wear that necklace, people can easily see who I claim to belong to. And they are looking for my reactions in every situation. Do I act like I love Jesus when I get cut off in traffic? If I don't, what does that say about Him? My goal is to reflect Him well, and that means behaving myself. I don't want to look bad, but more than that, I don't want to make Jesus look bad.
