"Good morning," I said to the woman behind the counter as she asked if she could take my order.
"You're a Christian, aren't you?" I said with an inquiring voice.....
"Yes, I am," she replied with a beaming smile.
"I can see Him in you!" I softly proclaimed.
I could literally see the presence of God in her countenance in the way she related to me and others.

The difference between a Christian Walking-the-Talk'......and a non-believer should be that the Christian brings the presence of God with him to wherever he might go....
However, this is not always the case....
A Christian can shut out the presence of God by his 'selfish' behavior.

Like the Israelites who experienced great miracles in their lives,........ but began to worship idols, we can move away from God.
Sin separates us from God.
Sin separates us from God.
His presence moves away from us.
Moses realized, he too had to have the presence of God with him to lead such a people.

The prophet Malachi was saying a day is coming when you'll be able to recognize a clear difference between the righteous and the unrighteous.
"And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not...." (Mal 3:18).
Would your family & friends be able to recognize a difference in you from others?
Ask God to fill you with His overflowing Presence in all you think, say & do today.

"Life is love, and love is life, and Love is All." The greatest message Jesus brought us is to love one another... Not because we are perfect, just as we are, unreservedly, unconditionally. The reward is in the Love you experience when you give out this Love, no matter what the person you love does in return. Wayne Dwyer, a great motivational speaker, said that people witnessing a good deed have a serotonin rush (feel-good hormones produced in the brain) merely by watching the good deed. Do for others what you would like to have done to you, and you will be amazed at the results. We so often wonder what difference just one person can make in the world. Your smile to a stranger you meet on the street might put him in such a good mood that he smiles to other people, putting them into a good mood, etc. We are so much more worthy and important and influential than we imagine to be. Our souls come from God, so we are indeed sons and daughters of God. Let's act like royalty!!
