As a leader, what echoes from our daily lives speaks volumes about our convictions, direction and sense of purpose. I'm not a huge comic book guy, but I like to read them from time to time. And every comic book I've read has these bubbles over the characters heads letting us know what they are thinking, saying and about to do. Without those bubbles letting us know what's going on inside the characters mind it could be a little more more difficult to figure out what exactly is going on. Now the graphics/pictures are pretty amazing and there are some pages that can stand alone with no text, but it's the bubbles that really give direction to the comic book. I wonder what our lives would be like if we walked around with bubbles over our heads letting people know what is really on our mind, what we believe, our dreams, our passions, give a heads up to someone who we're about to go WHAM...WHACK Batman style on...no more secrets...no more hiding...the world needs to see Jesus made alive in the frailty of humanity.
To be a fully, devoted follower of Jesus it's important for those you hang with know what your bubble says and who it points to. I don't want my life/actions to mislead anyone about who I'm really following, which is a struggle but it's through those struggles/conflicts that makes our bubble really defined on who we are following. In the first chapter in the book of Romans, Paul makes a statement that he's not ashamed of the Gospel. I'm a huge Fighting Illini fan and I'm not ashamed to let people know that I'll be rooting for them to win the NCAA Tourney this year and I'll be all decked out in Illini orange (I can dream right). I'm not saying we should be uber crazy and fanatic about sharing Jesus to the world that it's so intrusive it repels people from the message of hope. But our lives should clearly mark where and to whom our bubble points to...to a God that's is full of grace. What does your bubble say about you today? Where/Who is it pointing to?
