I had my grandchildren with me for a while yesterday and after they left there were still signs that they had been here-- a scooter in the yard, dirty cereal bowls, toys on the floor, lip prints on the mirror, etc. Every time they come and go from my house there is evidence that they leave behind.
I want to ask you a couple of questions this morning. If you say that Jesus is in your life (you are a Christian) then that means His presence dwells within you. Is there any evidence of that? Is there evidence that He is "in the house"? As a Christian we should have a daily encounter with the Lord-- it is called our prayer time. In prayer we meet with Him in a special way. As we do, He ministers to us, enlightens us, directs us and transforms us. When you come out of your time of prayer (prayer closet, war room, whatever you call it), is there any evidence in your life that you have been with Jesus?
His presence always leaves a "sign" behind. Read the New Testament. Everywhere Jesus went lives were changed, touched and transformed. It was obvious that Jesus had been there. The same should be said of us. It should be obvious to others that Jesus is with us and has been with us. There should be some "sign" of His presence. That sign is a transformed life. Therefore, there should be some change in our attitude, in our actions and reactions, in our conduct, in our treatment of others, in our love level, and so on. My grandchildren left signs of their presence. Why wouldn't Jesus leave signs that He has been with us?
Have a great day. Is there any sign in your life that you have been with Jesus?
