For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. 2 Corinthian 4:6
Have you ever looked into the sky and imagined that a cloud made the shape of something that wasn't really there? Or have you sometimes looked at a patterned curtain or similar fabric and saw something come into focus like a face? Over the years there have been numerous accounts of people from around the world claiming to have seen the face of who they imagine to be Jesus in a manner that was not planned, like in a cloud formation or in a landslide.

In most of theses examples you really have to take a second look, to refocus your gaze until the picture comes into view.
Recently I was reflecting on something that happened to me where help came form a most unexpected source. It was one of those situations where only a miracle from God would do. After it had happened I saw Jesus not as someone who is looking on us from above but as the person walking next to me on the street. As the smile from the shop assistant who didn't know that you really needed that smile. As the person who let me in at the junction.
When people look at you and me, do they see Jesus or have they got to look past us to see him in action elsewhere?
Be the difference today, let others see Jesus in you.
Music today is "You're the Only Jesus."
