Food for thought

I haven't posted anything in a while and I had a lot on my mind today, so I'll just throw this out there.
I've been training and taking classes to become a commercial diver. It is physically demanding and also very closely related to any construction job, the only difference being the way in which we reach the job site. So naturally this profession draws a lot of guys that are completely lost. The world of sex, drugs and alcohol is all they know. Profanity left and right, and choices that could not only ruin their career, but their lives as well. And then I walk in and change it up a bit. I don't have sex, do drugs, drink alcohol or even use profanity. At first I wondered if anyone saw me as a different person then everyone else, or if I blended in. Of course, knowing Christ does not want us to blend in, I hoped I wasn't.
A couple of weeks ago I had a guy at work ask me why I don't swear. I told him because I choose not to, I see no point for using language that usually will make people uncomfortable or bring them down in any way. He told me that he noticed I didn't use profanity and he couldn't seem to grasp it. I tried to make him understand that is through love I do not use that kind of language, he already knows I'm a Christian. So I clearly am being noticed. I even had a classmate tell me that he was working on cleaning up his talk. He came up to me to tell me that. I don't know if it was a sense of I might be judging him, or if I really am making an impact.
Everyone I work with and go to school with know I'm a Christian. Mostly because of my tattoo, which for me being not too engaging with people works out great because quite a few people have asked me about it.
So I guess the food for thought part of it is this. No one seems to dislike me. I'm easy to be around and everyone seems to want to talk to me every now and then. I am in no way being persecuted or mocked or mistreated. Now, for the record, none of that sounds like fun. But I almost am starting to wonder if I'm not doing enough. Am I really representing Christ like I should? My actions do, but should I be doing more? I feel that if we are really Christians that are really representing Christ, then we should be feeling persecution from somewhere. Now I don't know if they talk about me behind my back, but even if they do, I can't feel the persecution without knowing it exists.
So I guess if I was turning this into a message I'd say, we need to do more. We need everyone to know what we are, who we serve, and why. We need to show the merciful, yet just, love that Christ has for us. You can't be sitting and having a drink with the enemy on a battle field, can you? Not when the enemy is trying to kill you. But if the enemy is not trying to kill you, then are you really their enemy? We are in a spiritual war, and every battle has it's resistance. So shouldn't I be feeling it? Shouldn't we be feeling it? Time to kick it up a notch.
