CHAMELEON
II Corinthians 10:10-11
" 'For his letters," they say, "are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is contemptible." Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such we will be in deed when we are present."
I don't want to be a chameleon who changes to fit the environment. I want to be who I am whoever I am with. It is true that Paul tailored his approach to the people he was ministering to. And it is also true that some of us write better than we speak. But whether here or there, whether writing or speaking, let me be transparent, without hypocrisy with the integrity of the real "me," so that what you see is what you get.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: God calls us to be who we are wherever we are.

Have a transparent day. Love you.
