Is God Showing Through Your Life?

A little girl, on the way home from church, turned to her mother and said, "Mommy, the preacher's sermon confused me."

The mother said, "Oh, why is that?" The little girl replied, "Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. Is that true?"

"Yes, that's true," the mother answered.

"He also said that God lives within us. Is that true too?" she asked. Again the mother replied, "Yes."

"Well," said the girl, "If God is bigger than us and He lives within us, then there's no way of keeping Him from 'showing through.'"

In fact, that is the essence of Christian living--living in such a way that people around 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
