GOD WITHIN

GOD WITHIN

An old man and his little granddaughter were at a deep well on the farm and the man was drawing out water for the animals. He lowered the bucket into the well, and poured the wateer into a barrel nearby.

The littel girl was playing around, looking up into the clear blue sky, and then peering down into the deep well.

Suddenly with the spontaneity of a child she asked "Grand dad, where does God live? " The grandfather lifted her in his arms, held her out over the clear deep waters of the well and asked her, "What do you see when you look down there?" "I see myself," said the girl. "And there, " said the grandfather, "is where God lives - in you."

Dear friends we are so busy that we have harldy any time to think of this fact that God dwells within us. Remember that our body is the temple of the Lord so he dwells in us. Let us be aware of this fact and let our lives show that God is within us.

• "Surely you know that you are God's temple, and that God's Spirit lives in you." (1Cor 3:16)
• The surest place to find God is in the temple of our hearts.Would that this could become a prayer room, rather than a pity parlor?
