"No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." -I John 4:12 (NIV)
There are times when I stop and think because my words or actions remind me of my parents, grandparents, and other people that have played a role in my life. As we grow and develop, we are influenced by those around us. Those influences may be positive or negative. Sometimes we don't realize the impact of those influences until years after the fact, often until we mature and become adults. Even if we haven't recently seen those that influence us, we know the mark left on our lives!
No one has seen God. We can't describe any physical characteristics, but we know that God is alive and active in our lives. His influences are always positive ones! One way we know that God exists is through love. God is love. He loves each and every one of us and wants to have a relationship with us. He demonstrates and teaches us about love. Even though we haven't seen God, we can know of His relationship with us through our words and actions. When we demonstrate love toward one another, we can catch a glimpse of God!
Allow others to catch a glimpse of God by sharing His love in your words and actions!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for always being a part of my life. Help me to show and share Your love with those around me so they can catch a glimpse of You! Through Jesus, my loving Redeemer, I pray, amen.
