The social agenda

Everyone has an agenda...no, there is no way out of this one. I saw a girl walking around today in a short skirt. Her agenda might be to look cute...but that doesn't mean everyone will look at it like that. Or take a vocal person who has to verbalize a strength in the face of someone's perceived weakness...what is there agenda, to make themselves look good and put the other person down?

Everyday a little piece of me wants to impress the world, look good for those who have to interact with me, and be socially acceptable in making people laugh and feel comfortable. What I do with these thoughts and possible actions is huge. If my agenda is to please myself and others I have missed the point of why I am a Christian. My agenda has to be God's agenda. I have to learn to look at people through God's eyes and live everyday seeking his truth for my life.

I want to love those around me. I want to help people understand God better. I want people to become Christians...but why? For me, for my world, for my culture, or for the Creator?
