I have been in San Francisco for a week now. The view looking out over the bay is breathe taking at times, but too often, the fog makes the view, well, foggy. The picturesque seen of the Bay Bridge and Alcatraz are left in a haze by the fog that surrounds them. As I look out over the bay, all I can think about is the picture of Christ that we portray to others. Does my life display a picture of Christ that is crisp and clear? Or does my life only show Christ in small glimmers that pierce through the fog? Paul calls those to follow his example as he follows the example of Christ(1 Cor. 11:1). As I walk as a leader in my church and a leader to those who seek the truth, am I being a clear example of Christ? I pray that just as the sun burns off the fog over the bay, God will help me burn off the haze of life that diminished the clear view of him in my life. It is not an easy journey, but I have a clear picture of what my goal should be. Let's see how God shapes me to be his example.
In Him,
Paul
