Are you serving your purpose? Are you just decoration?

Those are some striking words to reflect on today as I was looking at this picture. Food is meant to be consumed, but so are we as Christians. ("I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." ~ John 15:5)

Are we just being decoration that people see, or do they also see how we act? Are people not seeing the fruit of our spirit? ("But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." ~ Galatians 5:22)

What a wake up call!

Lord, please don't let me be a hypocrite, but a servant of Your will. Amen.
