SHOW and tell

You show that you are a letter from Christ...written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 2 Corinthians 3:3

Did you ever participate in "show-and-tell" when you were a child? For show-and-tell, each child must bring in something to the classroom and tell the other students about it. I think show-and-tell is the way God wants us to be. He wants us to show the world, through our actions and by our love, who He is. He wants us to reflect Him so much so that others can not help but ask, "What makes you different? How can I have some of that?" Then, He wants us to tell them about the peace, joy, and love that we experience through a relationship with Him.

As people watch you--and if they know you are a Christian, they will watch you--they should begin to see Jesus in you. "And we...all reflect the Lord's glory," (2 Corinthians 3:18). Others should be able to God's glory in you and should be able to see the letter from Christ that's written on your heart. As you spend more time with God, others will see more of Jesus through you. It's from what they see in you that will either repel them from or draw them to Jesus. Ask yourself, do people see Jesus in me? What am I reflecting today? Christ wrote a love letter on your heart; share it with the world.
