God's Melting Pot

There's a saying that I keep on my desk at work that I've shared with others and I believe it to be true. "Be careful how you live, you may be the only Bible some person ever reads". I ask myself sometimes, can people tell that I am a Christian by the way I act or what I say. No, not always but it's something I work on constantly. Now more than ever, it's so important to let others see that we are believers.
A piece of jewerly that I like to wear is a cross, because without saying a word - someone sees that you believe in God. Strangers that I pass by in a store know that I believe, just by seeing my cross. I have been giving cross necklaces as gifts to the girls I work with and I gave one to Bridget recently for her birthday. Bridget is a co-worker of mine who recently found out that she had colon cancer, ovarian cancer and liver cancer. She has had surgery to remove the cancer and is going through chemo now. Bridget is strong and she is a believer and I was so touched when I gave her a sterling silver cross. Her eyes filled with tears and she said that she was hoping someone would give her a cross for her birthday.
I am so grateful to work with the people that I do, because so many of them are believers and many times over I had seen how God uses each of us for support and encouragement through very difficult times in our lives. I'm glad to know that this group of people put prayers up for me like I do for them.
There's an illustration that I love and I have shared it with others. A gold smith works with gold, melting it down, stirring and mixing until the right moment where he can bend and mold it into whatever he choses. Then he polishes the shaped gold until he can see his reflection in the finished product. I think that's how God works with us. He stirs us and mixes us with other believers, bends and molds us into who we become. I think that God is pleased when He can look at us and see His reflection.
Do people see God's reflection in You?
