Can they see see Jesus in me? Am I experiencing an identity crisis?

Can they see Jesus in me? 

Can we ask ourselves that question today? If I say I am a believer in Christ Jesus, can others see Him in my everyday actions and hear Him in my words . . . or am I experiencing an identity crisis?

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one I in them and you in me so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. (John 17:20-24)

Jesus prayed for us to be like Him . . . unified with Him so others would get to know Him through us? Do we identify with Jesus so closely that when others are around us they experience God's presence?

Let's ask ourselves: Can they see Jesus in me?
