A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten The red light by accelerating through the intersection.


The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.


As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger-printed, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.


He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, Naturally... I assumed you had stolen the car."


2 Corinthians 5:20 -- Here we are, then, speaking for Christ, as though God himself were making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ's behalf: let God change you from enemies into his friends!


1 Corinthians 11:1 -- Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.



Through life I have been raised to understand, “Talk is cheap, actions speak.” In knowing and understanding this I know that I am to be a representative of God, which means to put my best foot forward. 


In knowing that God does not expect us to be perfect, but we do need to do our best. Remember to ask yourself “WWJD - What Would Jesus Do?” We want others to see our God within us and to recognize that God is Love.


Ephesians 4:2 -- Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
