I think that being a "good apple" is being the Christian that we are meant to be. It says in my Bible that just saying you believe in the Bible or Jesus does not make you a Christian.
One of the most important things to being a Christian is to practice and share your faith.
This is something that I struggle with. I have family and friends who are non-believers and yes, it is sometimes VERY hard to share and practice my faith fully with them. But it can just be hard no matter where I am and who I am with. I am trying and growing to become more bold and more aware of what it takes to be a "good apple." With school just around the corner.. I believe that reading and applying James into my life will not only help me with my faith but it will help make this school year the best yet! That is why I am happy that God placed this book on my heart at this time!
I was asked from a friend;
"Do you ever have those dreams where that time has come and you see one of your non Christian friends crying and you go up to them and ask them what’s wrong and they say “Why didn’t you tell me about Christ, about salvation? I am now forever separated from Him.”
I have defiantly thought about this, and it actually scares me to think of all the opportunities God gave and gives me to share Him with others but I do not go and take it or ignore it. I makes me want to change that to actually stepping out and being bold. Sharing and practicing what God is calling me to do!
She had also said, "Christianity isn’t something that should be hidden; people should be able to see it in your actions, in your eyes, in your words, and in your smile."
So lets be "good apples" together and change our world.. one person at a time ... All it takes is BOLDNESS and FAITH.
AND REMEMBER:
God does not expect you to be perfectly good but he does not expect you to be perfectly awful either.
