Coming into church I tend to notice little finger prints on the glass of the front doors. These tale-tale signs that someone has been there are clear to the eye when the sunlight shines through. I stood there trying to put a name with the prints and imagined the little faces connected to those prints. I wondered we’re they crying as they were trying to reach someone just on the other side of the glass? Perhaps they were waving bye-bye with a pleasant smile on their face knowing they were safe and that the separation was only temporary and that made everything okay.
How about you? On this side of the glass (life) do you know you are safe and that separation (death) is only temporary for those who have made Jesus their Lord? Do you know God our Father sees our every move? He not only made us but cared that our finger prints were unlike any others. Our prints are unique only to us and He knows them. God knows where we’ve been and what we’ve been up to. As He shines into our lives He sees it all. The things left in our wake of living life—He sees. He doesn’t have to wonder who those little hands belong to. He does not have to wonder what the face behind the hands reveal He knows. He is not mad or upset because of what He sees. He knows us. However, His desire for us is that we leave prints that matter—in the places that matter. God desires that we leave a legacy and that what we leave in our wake of living, brings the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ into the lives of others. This is a great opportunity for us. We need not tell people where we have been and what we have done when the proof is in the fruit of changed lives wherever we go.
Let’s leave prints that others can follow and when the light shines through what we’ve left it will show we too were followers of Jesus Christ.
Oh and if we try to cover up where we’ve been and what we’ve been up to…..it doesn’t work. The only solution is the BLOOD.
Matthew 7:16 (NLT) “You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?”
1 John 1:7 (KJV) “But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
