The most famous quote by Mr. Jiminy Cricket himself! From the Disney movie “Pinocchio.” It’s actually very good advice and our world would probably be a much safer, quieter and more loving place to live if we all did just that.
Paul in the book of Philippians speaks to the people of Philippi, offering very sound teachings as well, it would also do more of us good to heed.
Philippians 2:1-5 NCV “Does your life in Christ give you strength? Does his love comfort you? Do we share together in the spirit? Do you have mercy and kindness? If, so make me very happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and having one mind and purpose. When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Instead, be humble and give more honor to others then yourselves. Do not be interested only in your own life but be interested in the lives of others. In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.”
These are some big shoes to fill, but we don’t have to fill them by ourselves; Jesus will be with us, guiding us each step of the way. The world is a mess, and it’s time for the Lord’s people to Show Up, Stand Up, Speak Up and Be Up!!!
We are God’s shining examples; what are your actions and words saying? You never know who is watching or overhearing you. We aren’t perfect and never will be but maybe if we let our spiritual conscience be our guide!!! We may lead others in the right direction as well.
Be blessed, try and be a blessing and thank you as always for joining me. 🥰
