We are ALL ambassadors for God. He knows we are sinful and we are not perfect, but we are still here to represent Him to others.
How we represent Jesus, is in our attitude, our actions, and reactions.
We try to be thoughtful of those who don't know Him.we don't want to be the ones to give them a bad impression of Jesus. No matter how tired or upset we are. We need to be. Indulge of nonbelievers, in the same way we'd be considerate of our kids ,spouse, friends, family.
Think about your relationships with nonbelievers in your life. Are you being a good witness of Jesus' love, patience, kindness, sensitivity? Or are you giving them the wrong impression of what a follower of Jesus ought to be? Nonbelievers tend to lump all " Christians" together, so how are you breaking the stereotype or showing that not all believers are hypocrites?
Psalm 69:6 Lord, The Lord Almighty, may those who hope in Yôu not be disgraced because of me; God of Israel, may those who seek Yôu not be put to shame because of me.
For it is With God all things are possible.
Father God, guide me today to do all things that will bring glory and honor to Yôu Amen

Amen! I think one of the biggest things in achieving this is by trying to show no judgement and by letting others see that we're all human and sinners just like them. I was just talking about this yesterday. Unfortunately there are a lot of Christians or church-goers that give us a bad rap as a whole. They put themselves on a pedestal or are stuck up, or are so judgmental.. when they make mistakes too or are simply being hypocritical and sweep it under the rug. I personally have been turned away from churches because of this and I'm a believer through and through. I think I have a more personal, better relationship with God not being in church. Some people, Christians, churches, etc have the ability to turn people towards our faith and being a believer if they would leave judgement at the door. Anyway, I'm off my soapbox. But amen!
