Summary: The author reflects on the contrasting messages they see on posters in public places, particularly on buses. They note that some messages proclaim the love of God while others contain symbols of witchcraft and evil. The author warns against giving mixed messages in our walk with Christ and emphasizes the importance of being a true reflection of God's love and image. They encourage readers to regularly check the messages they are conveying and ensure that they are glorifying God.

The number of posters that we see every day in various places where we pass is impressive, above all, the number of figures that one can observe when getting on a bus catches my attention. In the front, around the driver's seat, we can find messages of all kinds, for example, there is one that I liked, because it says: "Jesus is the way", it has a relaxing and hopeful green background, I was almost to identify with the driver when I realized that next to it there was a little doll that symbolized a witch, next to this a wooden sign that had a mouth with a tongue sticking out of it and the tongue pierced by a dagger, near which a red cloth.

Another that caught my attention was a large sign that said: "Only God loves me", on which there was a little doll with a pig's face, dressed as a devil. I do not know if a higher mind could understand and associate such contrasting messages, I really do not achieve it, before each message that proclaims the love of God, I am disappointed by the distorted messages that accompany them and that deny that the person who carries them walks of the hand of God.

Beware of ambivalent messages.

In our walk with Christ we sometimes give incomprehensible messages, especially to those who do not know our Lord or to those who are weak in faith. With one hand we give love and with the other we make the club fall on the hearts that surround us. We carry "We are Christians" signs, but people read next to them: "Heartbreak, selfishness, envy, strife, backbiting, rivalry, revenge ..."

We cannot preach a God who denies himself, that is not the God we know. We are his image, his workmanship, we cannot provide a distorted image of a God who gave himself out of love for us. We cannot make mutations to an immutable God.

Confront yourself every day of your life, check the posters that you are carrying and see yourself letting go of your weights, leave only in your life the image of the living God who created you with a purpose so that you are light and everyone can read in your life what you have to show of the.

Contrasts are not bad, they just depend on who we try to glorify with them. You make sure you glorify God.
