We live in front of an audience - an audience of One!
I heard Oz Guinness say this on a radio program he was a guest on recently. I wonder how often we give this any thought, if ever.
However, we can begin today to train our minds to focus on who our audience is, and whom we are trying to please. Then, we can choose more wisely on how to respond to life on a daily basis.
We don't have to try and please everybody or the world for that matter. We have a heavenly audience with eternal implications. From there our reward and ovation shall come! From there our glory and praise should go!
On the flip side, we will also know then, when we disappoint or fail to live up to the standard. Without the example of Jesus as the standard, we have nothing to measure ourselves against. The more we get to know Jesus and learn to act like him from the heart, the more our Father, our audience of one, will be pleased with us.
May your days be filled with both standing ovations and humble critiques as you journey to perfection in Jesus Christ!
