Mislabeled Lives

If it looks like corn, is shaped like corn, tastes like corn, it must be onions.

We can wear a Jesus label all we want, but if we don’t look like Him and act like Him, people will assume we’re badly mislabeled.

“By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them” (Matt. 7:16-20).

Lord, work in my life, so that when people see me, they see You.
