Invisible Christians

Invisible Christians an Affirmation by T.L. Simmons (Tonzae)

I'm a little disturbed currently. There are so many people depressed and committing suicide this year. As many people that are committing suicide there are just as many who have failed at the attempt of suicide. My question is why as Christians we are not noticing our brothers/sisters who are hurting and calling out for help? We hear them in the derogatory statements they constantly use, we see it in the behavior that they display, we notice something wrong in the way they treat people at times. All we ever say is something is wrong with that person, I'll pray for them...but yet we continue on with our daily lives as if to say "they'll be OK". We have to stop living a life as invisible Christians in order to save our brothers/sisters. It is our Godly duty and obligation to minister to the wounded souls...now I'm not saying giving a full sermon but a simple phone call to say how is your day? What's on your agenda for today? or drop by just to say hi, I was thinking of you today and wanted to see you. We also have to give a simple smile and let a person know they have purpose, sometimes others need reassurance. Keep in mind all smiling faces aren't happy or satisfied so stop being an invisible christian and allow your light to shine in someone else's life. You could be the small piece of the puzzle to saving someone's life.

I ask myself how can we not know that we are not living in our full potential as christians? It's not about us just living right but also about helping others rise above being lost. Invisible Christians are not effective nor affective if we don't make our presence known. We must become visible to help the fallen, the lost, the lonely, the sick, the imperfect, and to mostly please God by fulfilling the kingdom with praise.

No longer will I say, "I'll pray for you and don't "...that one prayer may save someone's life.
No longer will I not smile back at a person...because that smile may save a life.
No longer will I just text and not call....because that call maybe what stops someone from pulling the trigger.
No longer will I reject your friend request...because I might say something to spare your life.
No longer will I not say I love you to a friend, family, or stranger...because that simple word may save a life.
No longer will I hide when I'm depressed or down because the mind becomes the devil's playground...I will reach out to someone because they just might save my life.

Be blessed and encouraged
God loves you and so do I
