Your Life As A Bumper Sticker

If your life was a bumper sticker what message would it send? What does your life say? Do people leave your presence more blessed then when they entered it? Do you uplift others? What attitude do you wear on your sleeve the way a car wears a bumper sticker? Is it: 'I love God and I love you' or 'It's all about me-me-me'?

What message does your life send to others? Do you make a good ad or bumper sticker or a bad one? Do people bump into your life and think, wow, that's one unhappy, stressed out person? If so, you probably aren't experiencing the fruits of God...love, peace, and joy to name a few. Our life doesn't send out a bumper sticker message that isn't what we are experiencing. I know a lot of us think we can cover it up or keep it under wraps but we are not that good. What's happening on the inside always manifests on the outside. 

It might not sneak out and rear it's ugly head all the time but think of the different bumper sticker moments in your life....
At work...
Driving in traffic...
What if a person looked in your closet
In your bank account transactions
Your credit card purchases
In your refrigerator
In your mind....
Would it be a bumper sticker for love?

What areas do you need to allow God to come in and clean up? We don't do it by our might, but God can and will if we FULLY surrender the area to Him. That also means that we have to be willing to follow Him, the nudging we feel in our hearts, the way we feel we are being led to make changes. 
Let go & let God. 

So again I ask, what message are you sending out there? I ask you to look at this so that you can get a clearer glimpse into your heart and see the areas you might need to get more hearing and balance within.
