Camouflage Christians

Recently, I visited Canton, Texas, the largest trades-day market in north Texas. As I was passing through one of the indoor market booths, I noticed a t-shirt with a camouflaged cross on it. Since I happen to like camo ...AND it was on my favorite color t-shirt (brown) AND it was shiny, I thought, "OOooooo ... a camo cross...how pretty!"

But no sooner had I thought that, and began to walk away, than another thought flashed into my mind, " Wait a minute... a camo cross? I don't think so!"

Thoughts began to quickly filter into my mind that I don't want the cross or Christ to be camouflaged in my life. I don't want the cross and its effects to be hidden... until such time as I happen to want to pull it out and show it to someone.

I'm so thankful for the cross and the sacrifice that my savior, Jesus Christ, made for me, upon it.

I am grateful for the blood that washed over my life, my sins and covered me in the forgiveness and righteousness of the only righteous one - Jesus - so that now I can boldy approach the throne of God in grace and confidence.

No. I still like camo, I still like brown, but I don't think I'll be wearing a camo cross on my shirt or, if the Lord will help me, upon my life. I want Christ and the cross to be visible anywhere and at all times, to everyone.
