It seems every day we are given the opportunity to confess
our love for God, either in words or often more importantly in actions. Many
times we are faced with a split second decision to either confess God or deny
Him. Sometimes our quick decisions are words that come from our mouths, but
NORMALLY this decision has more to do with our actions than our words.
How will we respond to the homeless man on the sidewalk?
How will we look the request for food?
How will we treat the stranger who attends Christmas
Liturgy?
Saint Paul says, “Therefore do not be ashamed of the
testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the
sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God.” (2 Timothy 8)
The quick responses that face us everyday speak more about
our hearts than the well chosen words we choose to use on Facebook or through
emails. If we are willing to embrace the words of Saint Paul, then our actions
(not just our well chosen words) will BE a living example of the gospel of
Christ.
Just something to think about as Christmas draws near...
