DOES HE SHOW THROUGH?

One Sunday as they drove home from church, a little girl turned to her mother & said, "Mommy, there’s something about the preacher’s message this morning that I don’t understand."

The mother said, "Oh? What is it?"

The little girl replied, "Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. He said God is so big that He could hold the world in His hand. Is that true?"

The mother replied, "Yes, that’s true, honey."

"But Mommy, he also said that God comes to live inside of us when we accept Jesus as our Savior. Is that true, too?"

Again, the mother assured the little girl that what the preacher had said was true.

With a puzzled look on her face the little girl then asked, "If God is bigger than us and He lives in us, wouldn’t He show through?"

That’s the point isn’t it? If we’re Christians, when people see us, Jesus ought to show through - in our homes, our offices, our community, and in every aspect of our lives.
