What would Jesus do? What would Jesus do? What would Jesus do?

I've been asking myself that question a lot lately. As I've gotten older, and as I've grown in to my faith, this question immediately pops in to my head. It's at the point where I don't even think about it now. It's more of a subconscious thing. I'm so proud of myself for this. I don't mean that to be prideful. I guess I'm just finally getting to a place in my life where I really make an effort to be like Jesus. To be kind, to be humble, to be forgiving. Don't get me wrong, I still struggle with all of these things. It's difficult to be kind all of the time. It's difficult to forgive and let go. It's difficult to be humble and let others help me and show me the way. That one is especially difficult for me (did someone say control freak?)

I have noticed something else: I'm seeing Jesus through other people a lot lately. This could be because I am looking for it. It could be because I am open to it. It could be because I allow others to be Jesus to me. I'm finding that these two things- asking myself what Jesus would do and recognizing Jesus in others, makes me full of joy and love and peace. Through these two actions, Jesus is teaching me. And I love to learn!
