A nine-year old girl was discovered in the Chinese province of Liaoning living with barnyard pigs. Was this a unpopular story? No. United Press International released the story all over the world. Because her disabled parents could not care of her, she had been raised from infancy by the family's pigs, even eating from the mother pig just like the piglets. The report said the child had to be taught to stop the pig-like behavior and learn to act like a human. Her counselors said she had learned to crawl on all fours and to imitate pig sounds for communicating.
It is sad to hear a child having the behaviour of a pig. But even sadder is a Christian who has the behavior of a non-Christian. A person who has accepted Christ has agreed with God to live life His way. An inner change will always begin to show outwardly.
Hebrews 13 : 1-3 said "Keep on loving each other as brothers. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."
Should Christians be any different in our attitude and outlook? Relationships are still the primary thing God uses to bring people to Himself and to care for others' needs. You probably came to know Christ because of a friend or a family member - a relationship. If you enjoy going to church, it's likely because you have strong relationships there. Always remember that the way to have friends is to first be a friend. Thank God for your relationships today, and look for the opportunities he gives to make new ones - for Him.
