Why should anyone believe me about Christ living in His people? Who am I? I'm nobody. No credentials, no certificate of learning, certainly nothing that will qualify me as an expert in God and Godliness. I am not even an expert at typing on this...........................computer.
I am not Paul, or Peter. I am a whistler in the wind trying to get the wind to carry this message to someone out there who will believe the little bit I have to say. I hope someone will give God a trial period, at least. I pray someone will connect to something that is said, or seen, or experienced in some way. I pray that experience will reveal the One who died on a cross so that someone may be filled with Christ's Spirit. Would that He who lives within might become the Person who really lives and loves and serves His Father, but has the face of you or me, pursing the lips to whistle in the wind as we try and catch the attention of someone out there somewhere in the world.
These thoughts are my hopes , but mostly, my prayer. Oh, how I pray that it will be--someone somewhere praying for Christ to come into his or her life. This requires a great amount of trust, trust that the Father is saying, "Come here, my daughter. You are precious to me. I place my Spirit in you, that you may reveal me to others. Thank you for being One with me and with my Son. All you are will reveal me to others. Believe it! Trust it! You are mine. It is my work you are doing. I need you to be in the world to testify about my world. When you see me someday I will know you well, just as you will know me."
So trust is the secret word. Trust that I am a Child of God. Trust that I appear before others in love, caring for them when there is a need, and therefore revealing His Presence to them. If they do not see His Presence, it is because they do not bother to consider what they see as Truth. Continue to pray that Christ will be revealed, and that person will acknowledge Him.
Let there be light, O Lord!
If others only look at me, they might miss the brightness! Jo
