Your Life is Your Message

Your life is your message. The way you live says more about you then any words could ever express. What comes out of your mouth can never match what comes out of your heart, accomplished by your hands and the direction you walk. The way you live is your way of leadership. Every person is a leader. Each of us is an example for someone else on how to conduct life. Because we are all leaders we are also responsible for that leadership. Leadership by example is the primary model of human effectiveness. Every life makes a difference. Our influence reverberates way beyond our own personal zone. Because we influence, we are responsible for that influence. Christians lead by example. God says “don’t tell me, show me” as his son Jesus Christ showed the world the love of God. God didn’t remain sitting in heaven preaching to man on how to conduct his life, instead he came on earth, lived the life man was created to live. He led by example. God could have spent until the end of the world explaining suffering to man, instead he came down from heaven and suffered with us, he changed the meaning of suffering and pain forever. He didn’t say don’t shed tears; he came from heaven to shed tears with us. He led by example. Jesus said forgive others and love your enemies. Jesus forgave from the cross and took on the burden of sins for all mankind. He paid the price of justice and he was the most innocent man to have ever lived. He led by example. You and I are Gods example to the world. The conduct of our lives echoes God’s Word. Even if we did not say another word to any person about god, but led a Godly life, a holy life, an authentic Christian life our influence would be profound and earth shattering.
