It's amazing how God will show you things when you least expect it. I was teaching so pretty awesome Sr. High girls last night and for the past couple weeks we have been talking about having a Mary heart in a Martha world. We have been talking about what it means to be intimate with God and being real with yourself. I have learned so much while teaching this small group session the past couple weeks, but tonight God really showed me something and it has been ringing in my head ever since. We were talking about if people saw Jesus in us and I told the girls a story that was in Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World.
The story starts out about a Priest preaching about how everyone should ask Jesus into their heart. After the priest is done a little boy runs to him and says to the priest, "Sir, you were talking about people asking Jesus into their heart...right?" The priest replied with a soft yes and then said to the little boy, "Have you asked him into your heart?" The little boy replies with, "Well, I got to thinking, Jesus is so big and I am so little, so if I ask him he's going to stick out all over!" The priest just nodded his head and said, "That's the point, that's the point."
THAT IS THE POINT!
God is so big and we are so little when we ask him to come into our hearts he has to stick out all over and how great is that because everyone can see him if he sticks out all over!
So my question is...Are you letting God stick out all over? or Have you compacted him into a small space so he won't stick out all over and no one can see him?
mmm...Very good Stina...
