Is God Showing Through In Your Life?
Here’s a great little article that’s entitled: Is God Showing Through In Your Life? I don’t know the author and I don’t know where it came from, but it’s worth passing along and using if you’re able.
A little girl, on the way home from services, turned to her mother and said, “Mommy, the preacher’s sermon this morning confused me.”
The mother said, “Oh, why is that?” the girl replied, “Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. Is that true?” “Yes, that’s true,” the mother replied. “He also said that God lives within us.” “Is that true too?” she asked. Again the mother replied, “Yes.” “Well,” said the little girl, “If God is bigger than us and He lives in us, wouldn’t He show through?”
I like that little girl’s way of putting it. If God lives in us, then there’s no way of keeping Him from “showing through.” That’s the essence of Christian living – living in such way that people around us will see God in our lives.
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
Is God showing through in YOUR life?
If you know who wrote the story feel free to speak up in the comments and I’ll give the credit where credit is due…
…and remember to shine today!

Eugene, when I read that story, I thought of this: “God dwelling among his people should be the most attractive force field on earth” (Christopher J. H. Wright, The Mission of God, p. 339).

Any time I hear something about magnetism and the gospel I’m always drawn to, ” And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” This He said, signifying by what death He would die.” (John 12:32-33)
Thanks for sharing the thought…and the like, Don.

John 12.32, 33 fits in perfectly with that article and my quote I gave you. Thanks.
