God's Appearance is Not Your Own

Romans 15:5-6
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

*We are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27); and also have access to being Christ like in not just our appearance, but our demeanor as well (1 Corinthians 2:16). Therefore, we have the ability to treat each other the way Christ would want us to be treated, and the way He wants to treat us if we allow Him to do so. However, many people believe they have to establish some other authority or presence when they walk in a room, hold a conversation with someone, or come in contact with individuals. It is not about making your personal  demeanor, opinion, or power known to others because that doesn't promote positive change in itself. It is about allowing God to work through u, and establish His presence to shift the atmosphere and help unfold the purpose of why u are in a location or around certain people. We meet no one by chance or happen to go in a location...There is a purpose for everything be it to endure in order to be a living testimony, or encourage in order to win souls to Christ. However, we must first remove self out of the way in order to be properly unified in the common purpose: bringing others to God and receiving all He has for us. How far u go in this is up to the choices u make with your lifestyle, how u treat others, how open-minded u allow yourself to be, and whether or not u pass the tests of endurance and kindness in order to go to the next level.
