I hear so much about being like Jesus, living like Jesus, acting like Jesus, & being willing to die like Jesus for Jesus. But I ask you, if I posed to all of you the question "Would you die for Jesus?" would it be as difficult to answer as the question "Would you live for Jesus?"
I've found that it is harder to live for Jesus, or live as Jesus than to be like Jesus. Being like Jesus, is to act as He would act at any moment in a given time spectrum when we are aware that such a response would be appropriate. but to live as Jesus, would be to bless people everyday, as one is. I would be happy, if I knew that just me being myself made a difference in people's lives.
When I lost my chance at nationals bid in Minnesotta on Sunday, I was devestated. I can't seem to get it right this semester: there seems to be somethin wrong. But you know what - I have friends who are Jesus to me. Layne went shopping with me and he was patient and sweet with me - but not because of my recent disappointment, but because that is who he is. That made the difference to me. Jeremy Pond: your blog was and is Jesus to me. Thank you for the Skittles.
