I was with a friend talking to a new acquaintance when she began touting the virtues of a weight loss book she had read a few years earlier.
“It will completely change your relationship with food,” she exclaimed, insisting he take down the name of the book and its author.
I saw the man glance at her full length while she was looking away. I don’t see the evidence its working for you was written all over his face.
How often have we been guilty of the same thing?
How often have we confessed we believe the Word of God while our lives shout another message? While our behavior and the way we treat others are clear evidence we believe more in our own way than the way of the Master?
How many have looked at us and thought, I don’t see the evidence?
