We represent one of two places Heaven or Hell. Which one are you truly representing? We all want to go to Heaven but do we truly know what that takes? Do we look at every action and every word we speak. Do we do all that we can do to represent Heaven?
Or do we just think this one, this, won't keep us from our Father in heaven? It not a big deal it is just one thing. The Most High knows my heart and this won't really matter. Is that one thing for filling a part of our lives that we have not asked the Most High to fill or heal?
When this word came forth I kept hearing ambassador. It is interesting that being an ambassador for Christ is not something most people consider in their everyday life.

Ambassador [S]In the Old Testament the Hebrew word tsir , meaning "one who goes on an errand," is rendered thus ( Joshua 9:4 ; Proverbs 13:17 ; Isaiah 18:2 ; Jeremiah 49:14 ; Obadiah 1:1 ). This is also the rendering of melits , meaning "an interpreter," in 2 Chronicles 32:31 ; and of malak , a "messenger," in 2 Chronicles 35:21 ; Isaiah 30:4 ; 33:7 ; Ezek. 17:15 . This is the name used by the apostle as designating those who are appointed by God to declare his will ( 2 Corinthians 5:20 ; Ephesians 6:20 ).
The Hebrews on various occasions and for various purposes had recourse to the services of ambassadors, e.g., to contract alliances ( Joshua 9:4 ), to solicit favors ( Numbers 20:14 ), to remonstrate when wrong was done ( Judges 11:12 ), to condole with a young king on the death of his father ( 2 Samuel 10:2 ), and to congratulate a king on his accession to the throne ( 1 Kings 5:1 ).
To do injury to an ambassador was to insult the king who sent him ( 2 Samuel 10:5 ).
To be on an errand for the King. Do you carry yourself as such? The word says that our existence on this rock is but a vapor. That our lives are as grass.(Psalms 103:15) So in the terms of existence we are but on an errand, carrying a message for the king. Are you fulfilling your orders? Would those around you know that this is why you are here? Is it obvious? Do you carry yourself as a servant? Do you carry yourself as an ambassador in your daily existence?
