To be a Christian is indeed challenging.
When others know that we are a Christian, they would have an expectation of us.
And when we don’t meet their expectations, then there will be criticisms.
And of course, when we fall short of living out our Christian identity, then we will also be called hypocrites.
So, why do we still want to be a Christian and subject ourselves to such stress and pressure.
But we remember that it is not us who chose Jesus, but it is Jesus who called us and chose us to be His own.
And hence, we want to be a Christian and live out our commitment to Jesus.
We need not do big and spectacular or impressive things.
We only need to do things, whether big or small, with a great love for Jesus.
And may that love for Jesus also flow out to others, so that they will see what it means to be a Christian.
