How Do I Look?

Many of us go through life looking for love and other things, all in the wrong places. We look to the world to give us advice. We look at life through eyes of unbelief instead of faith and we look at man’s outer appearance as opposed to trying the spirit by the spirit. We also look at our walk with Christ as a religion and not a relationship.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world, James 1:27. This verse in James lets us know what a child of God should look like and what we should do to please Him. It does not say one who is prideful and who boasts about what they’ve done for others. But rather it commends that a person truly walking after God, takes care of those in need and who have been afflicted. It also says that we should keep ourselves from looking and acting like the world.

Let’s begin to take ourselves out of the equation and make our walk and talk be about esteeming and caring for others. Take a look around you; I’m sure you will find someone in need of help.

Now, how do I look?
