Shelbi Czachor sent this to me this morning and I liked it so much I decided to post it. Love you babe The kingdom of God comes not with outward show . It comes through the gentleness of the inspiration of His Word, through the inward working of His Spirit, the fellowship of the soul with Him who is its life. The greatest manifestation of its power is seen in human nature brought to the perfection of the character of Christ. The followers of Christ are to be the light of the world;but God does not bid them effort to shine . He does not approve of any self-satisfied endeavor to display superior goodness . In choosing men and women for his service ,God does not ask whether they possess worldly wealth eloquence or learning. He only asks do they walk with humility that I can teach them my way. Can I put my words into their lips. Will they represent me. As with the wind that wrent mountains also the earthquake and fire God was not in them when speaking to Elijah but speaks to us in a still small voice. Jesus, was to do his work not by pompous outward display but by speaking to the hearts of men by a life of mercy and love . We as followers of Christ are to reach the world by daily surrendering to that still small voice that has the power to save the whole world.
