A Light
About two months ago I (Wes) made the decision to change jobs. I had been employed at a local Christian nonprofit organization for over two years. Many factors were considered during the decision process. High on the list of items in consideration was a desire to be rubbing shoulders with non Christians on a daily basis.
For the last half dozen weeks I’ve been doing just that. I had forgotten the challenge of being a light in dark places on such a day in and day out basis. The transition I’ve made isn’t an easy one for this very reason. To be different, yet someone that isn’t out of reach or self righteous is one of the Christian life’s greatest challenges.
I’ll tell you though, it has revitalized my spirit. To be living the life I am called to without being so insulated has made it all so much more real.

My hat is off to you on such a courageous choice. The truth is that most of us (believers) have so isolated ourselves from not-yet believers. Many of us do not even know anybody that isn't already a Christian. Jesus called us to be salt and light in the world. You have taken a very big step in that direction!
Guy,
Thanks for your comment. It's so true what you so about too many Christians not knowing a single unbeliever. Thanks for your encouragment!
