Questions

You know it is rather interesting how much people think they know something about someone or something but could end up being completely wrong. I have been on the wrong side many times and have definitely been surprised on many occasions. People have thought some things about me that are wrong. The most recent was someone asking why I don't like hugging people. Where they got that I have no idea. My family would laugh if someone told them that. The truth is I have absolutely no problem with hugging people as long as they are a good friend or family member. I am aware that hugging can be awkward so I definitely don't push the matter. One would, however, judge correctly by saying I am an introvert and that I don't like country music. Most likely taking a scripture out of context, "The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought know" (1 Cor 8:2). Naturally how I act could easily lead a person to believe something about me that is completely wrong. So I was wondering if how I act hurts how I represent Christ. Do people see how I act and make assumptions about what Christians are like? I certainly don't want to misrepresent Him. But I do know that if I live for Christ and give Him control of my life people will see Him through me. His sacrifice has given me life and I do not want to waste it.

(this thought was not apart of my systematic thought process, but i mean every word)
