What More?

Today's Scripture:
Matt 5:47, 1 Peter 2:12

Today's Prayer: I know I may be the only Jesus some people see. Even if others mock me for my faith, may I keep my conduct honorable, so when they see my good deeds, You will be glorified.

For those of you that don't know, I do computer programming out of a home office. This has many, many benefits but one of the drawbacks is that I don't see many people. Actually, I rarely see anyone other than my family. I talk on the phone with co-workers nearly all of whom are born-again brothers and sisters. I interact with my family and then I work with others in the church. Does anyone see the problem here? I have very little interaction with those other than "my brothers". Sometimes I believe that I am worse than those Jesus is talking about here. I don't even move among non-believers. Even if my conduct would speak well, I rarely give it an outlet. So what more am I doing than others? Today, I am praying that God would give me more opportunities to love those unlike me. Lord, I beg you to penetrate this bubble in my life. Lord, I pray that my life would reflect you in such a way that you would want me out of this cloister. Lord, be glorified.
