Hello Warehouse!
Every person you will run into this week – at work, shopping, Christmas parties…
everyone you run into is pregnant with the possibility of God transforming their life
and if you are a Christ-Follower…
you are a carrier of Christ!
The rude neighbor, obnoxious co-worker, manipulative in-law, antagonistic uncle, rebellious neighbor, self righteous person in management… maybe they have never been gracious, kind, or even considerate – they are in need for the Christ to make an appearance in their life and YOU are the carrier of Christ to them this Christmas season!
For everyone you have to be around (especially those which you would rather not) let me suggest three things.
1) Show Up – don't dodge the occasion to interact with them. You are the very thing they need for God to continue the process of working on their heart.
2) Remind yourself that YOU are the carrier of Christ. Speak & be the presence of Christ to them. This also means, don't be self-righteous, passive, or obnoxious.
3) Speak life into their lives. If they like to complain & argue about certain subjects, don't go there with them. Instead, find something to compliment them or speak about their potential or value! When Jesus spoke to others, He often spoke to their value or potential instead of condemning them. Bless others with your words of affirmation & be assured that you have planted a seed of life in them. God will use it!
