am i better?

This morning while I was praying, God unveiled something to me. So manytimes we throw ourselves into the Christian faith so that we can be a good witness. We hope that other people will see the joy in our lives, that other people would see us changed. So we go to church, we read the bible and we pray. Then we walk around every day and our speach may have changed, the music we listen to may have changed, our lives on the inside may have changed, but nothing else changes. We go day to day trying to be a "good witness" yet we do nothing. We easily get burnt out and think that nothing has really changed at all, I mean we love God and all but... nothing else has changed really has it? Here is the part that we are missing. We don't DO anything. Part of being a good witness is doing for other people. My buddy Eric is a prime example, in one of his latest posts he talks about giving a girl a ride down the street.. he did something.
If we live our lives exactly how the non-Christian does and we don't do anything, then how are we a good witness? How do we show that God loves them and us if we do nothing. I know there is more to Christianity than that but if God commands us to love and even says that the greatest commandment is to love then why would you not do anything? Why would you drive by that person who is stuck by the side of the road cause he looks scary? Why would you not help that old short lady in the supermarket get those cans off the top shelf. Help someone today. Love someone. Even, love the people who hate you. It will pay off I promiss you that. God is never wrong. Be a Christian who does something.
