The WWJD Bracelet

what would He do? Living our lives like Jesus would have us do. Not lying or cheating. Believing God has a good plan for us, to give us a future. But He likely wouldn’t wear a tacky WWJD braclet.

Religious fashion jewellery, a statement or strictly just to impress those around us.

Sample of script:

Person is sitting on bed, toying with a WWJD bracelet on arm.

God: Nice touch.

Person: Thanks. But...what are we talking about?

God: That WWJD bracelet you're wearing.

Person: Oh. Yeah. I've got five.

God: I know. You can match 'em with just about anything in your closet can't you?

Person: Yeah. Cool, huh?

God: You've got a pretty good collection.

Person: Yep.

God: Too bad it's not more than that.

Person: Well I'll get a few more-eventually. After all they do cost.

God: No, I'm not talking about adding more bracelets to your collection. But you're right-there is a cost involved.

Person: Uh oh. I've got a feeling we're not on the same page, are we, God?

God: Nope.

Person: Look, I'm kind of in a hurry, Lord. So if You have something to say,could you just say it?

God: I already have.

Person: Guess I didn't catch it.

God: Let's go through it again okay? Check out 1 John 2:4-5.

Person: Uh. All right. Gimmie a sec.

God: It's under your bed.

Person: What?

God: Your Bible.

Person: How'd you know that's what I was look . . . .

God: I'm God, remember? I know everything. It’s a God thing to know all.

Person: Oh, yeah, right. Okay here we go: "Someone may say, 'I am a Christian; I am on my way to heaven; I belong to Christ.' But if he doesn't do what Christ tells him to, he is a liar. But those who do what Christ tells them to will learn to love God more and more. That is the way to know whether or not you are a Christian." So...lay it on me, God. What are you saying?

God: I'm saying it sure would be nice if that WWJD bracelet you're wearing was more than a fashion statement. But if it were....it would cost.

Person: Hey, wait a sec! I'm not just wearing this as a fad! I mean, I know what it stands for. I believe in it.

God: Believing in a phrase......and living the lifestyle are two different things.

Person: I'm listening.

God: Well, to really live out the WWJD lifestyle may cost you some dates.

Person: Guys?

God: And maybe some friends.

Person: The girls?

God: And maybe your time.

Person: My TV shows?

God: WWJD means asking yourself "What would Jesus do" before anything and everything you do.

Person: Well, yeah...technically, you are right
