The other night I finished reading this book, "Blessed Child" by Bill Bright and Ted Dekker. This novel is about the power of a boy who walks in the kingdom of God and brings others to a point of seeing that kingdom. In one chapter, he brings his two closest friends to a point where the see the awesome power of their love as rays of light extend from their mouths as they proclaim their love for God and for one another. In this scene, the power of their worship and love was on display in full technicolor. While reading that chapter, I lost myself in the struggle of, "does that really happen?" Does our love, love that has been passed to us from God, have power that is on display in full glory?

I got the answer last week as I met a man who just wandered into our church wanting to do something to help others during this Thanksgiving holiday. He had no exuberant amount  of money but has given his time and energy into filling boxes of food and helping deliver them to people in need of a little pick-me-up. He was living proof to me that God's love is on display as it passes from one to another. For that I thank him and am warmed by the ever present loving and guiding presence of one who loves without reservation, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
