'You've Changed'

I was looking at my friends facebook the other day, and I was shocked, absolutely shocked to find a little verse from James in her 'info' box. At school, she swears, she gossips and doesn't live a 'Godly' life as such. I realise that I'm not going to be passing judgment on her on that day, and I don't know her heart, and I don't know if she struggles with that stuff, or if there was some other motive to her verse, but I was shocked.

I want people to immediately see from my life that I'm different, the way I treat people, the way I talk, the life I live. I don't want to wear 2 different masks.

I also don't want someone to be surprised when they see something I do with one person, thats different to how I act with them. I have ONE personality, its who I am. Sometimes I'm happier, sometimes I'm tired, so obviously these will influence my character. But I don't want such MASSIVE character changes that people would be shocked when they see me with a good friend compared to when I'm at church. I want my character to remain CONSTANT, no matter who I'm with.

I want my character to be totally pointing towards Jesus, no matter who I'm with.

As always, I'm not sure if I've articulated my thoughts well enough, but I hope it encourages you or helps you somehow.
