I am right; you are wrong

I'd like to make a proposal to myself and my friends in faith.... It is drastic, folks: okay, here it is.....What if we dropped the secret mentality of "I am right in my beliefs, and you are wrong. Since  secretly I know that I am right and you are wrong, I'm going to show you God's Love through a few repeated acts of kindness, with the full intention that you will soon come to agree with me and my belief system. If you don't come to agree with me in my allotted mental time slot, then hey-I tried, we'll call it good cause I did my duty, and I'll see ya at Wal-Mart a couple years from now and wish you well. If you are well, I will quietly pat myself on the back-for it was I, who planted those seeds of well-being some two years back. If you are not good , I'll tell myself again, I tried-if they'd have listened to me back then-their life would be better now..."

Instead, I'd like to propose that our goal move from "saving souls from hell" to "letting light flow from us just so God be glorified." Once this takes place, the focus moves from our inside thoughts and how much we've helped a person to simply living in a state that constantly shines Goodness. There is no keeping count on our internal tally mark sheet, this light is constant. Its  not about you, your words, your beliefs, your doctrine, or the food basket you delivered. It comes from the sheer beauty of an eternal light that does not cease, therefore it can only be God. This isn't even about the outcome for others, it's about glorifying God because that's what we were created to do. If part of glorifying God to you is delivering food baskets then do it. But,  do it just to God be the glory, not because you can check it off the list of "Things I'm doing to save people." 

Let us drop the "I'm right and you're wrong, here- let me save you" mentality and simply shine Light in the world.
