Difference

From Charles Stanley's The Wonderful Spirit Filled Life.

To an outsider looking in, there is often little or no difference between the lifestyle, thought, life and habits of the Christian and those of his "uninformed" heathen neighbor.
Nothing thrills my heart like watching men and women grasp the goodness and grace of God...nothing is more frustrating than watching people listen week after week, often writing it all down, and then do nothing with what they have heard. The real tragedy is that we have all lost our aility to function in our the way God originally intended...there should be a something in the way we do business [and other parts of our lives that are different from the world.]

Too many times I have seen other people ask Christians if they were one after a passing comment made the non-believer think to ask. And some people never get asked this...because everyone already knows that they are one. 
We have to remember that we are almost ambassadors here...to do the best example we can through God's strength of right and wrong. 
That is one thing about facing hard times and difficult things. We change as we rely on God more, growing into different people. Better yet is to share what we learn. Admittedly shared lessons are not always remembered as well as lessons we learn ourselves...but I still believe people should share their stories of struggle with others. Once success, by God's grace, is managed to the point of "living" with a suffering, or the suffering no longer exists, you have become a survivor, and have knowledge to share.
