But do I sound enough like Christ to be called one of His? I sure hope so, but don't think I do a lot of the time.

You can't tell, but I'm shouting ...HALLELUUUUJAH!!! You can't tell, but I'm shouting with my mixed-up, people-from-North-Carolina-Jersey-and-Brooklyn accent. LOL! <BR/><BR/>This is such an excellent message, Sister Carol. It is so true that our mouths tell a whole lot about who we <I>really</I> are. That's why so many unsaved folks (and believers alike) are confused. So many people who profess to be Christ followers don't sound a thing like Him. <BR/><BR/>It's like when I went to Paris a few years ago. I was the only one in our group who could speak a little French, so I helped out with restaurant orders, directions, and the like. But the French weren't fooled. My accent and poorly constructed French gave me away. I was definitely not one of them. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for letting the Lord speak through you. To God be the glory! <BR/><BR/>May He rain down blessings on you and your ministry, my Sister. <BR/><BR/>Firmly In His Grip,<BR/>Genikwa Williams<BR/>www.GenikwaWilliams.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-7458686861605383642008-12-11T08:22:00.000-06:002008-12-11T08:22:00.000-06:00Well, I'm a fellow Georgian so we wouldn't even no...Well, I'm a fellow Georgian so we wouldn't even notice one another's accents!<BR/><BR/>As to your bigger message, I'm afraid that my "accent" does give me away, in a negative light. My temper and impatience are quick to flare up and, while I am generally pretty good at holding my tongue, I think you can probably tell in my attitude, in the way I hold myself or clinch my jaw in some of those situations, that my actions are less than Christlike.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-34262974213138115402008-12-11T08:10:00.000-06:002008-12-11T08:10:00.000-06:00great thoughts to ponder. i think "sometimes" it ...great thoughts to ponder. i think "sometimes" it does, but not enough... my canadian accent does though lolAmydeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833632264921874870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-91894859429002664232008-12-11T01:20:00.000-06:002008-12-11T01:20:00.000-06:00Amen, preach it sweet one.Amen, preach it sweet one.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.com
