Showing Through

I heard of a little girl a little while ago who was talking to her mother about the sermon her pastor gave on Sunday. She told her mother that she was a little confused about something he said.

“Mommy?” The little girl said.
“Yes dear?” She replied.
“I’m confused about what pastor said in church today.” She came back.
“Oh yeah? What is that?”
“Well, he said that God is very big, right?” She started to explain.
“Yes, he did say that.” The mom confirmed.
“And he said that God lives inside of us.” She said.
“Yes, he did say that too.”
“So, if God is very big and He lives inside of us, then shouldn’t He show through?”

I think the reason the world is so confused about God and people aren’t getting saved is because He doesn’t show through us like He should. The light we are letting through isn’t bright enough or showing at all. We live our lives in a zone of comfort and it’s very hard to get out of that zone. We’re scared of what people will think when they find out we follow Jesus. We sometimes follow the fear instead of the Holy Spirit’s lead because we let Satan lie to us and we believe every bit of it.

This is a very short and simple message. Does God show through? Or is that too scary for you?
