From Billy Graham:  Someone has wisely observed that the only Bible some people will ever read is the one they see demonstrated in the life of a Christian.

In other words, the way we live often speaks far louder than our words. People may tell us they don’t believe the Bible—but they can’t deny its power as they see it change our lives, guide our decisions, and influence how we live.

What do people see when they look at you? Do they see someone whose life reflects Christ? Do they see in you the Christlike traits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (see Galatians 5:22–23)?

Ask God to rule in your heart and remake you from within into the person He wants you to be. Then ask Him to help you be sensitive to those around you who may be successful on the outside, but inwardly are empty and confused, so that by your life and by your words they may discover the joy and peace that come from knowing Christ.

God, we can show others the power You have in our lives regardless of what we’re going through. We can exhibit humility in our failings, peace in our trials, and love in our dealings with difficult people. Help us live in a way that draws people to You.
