Life can become so mundane, but if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and walk with Him, you're bound to come across a "God sighting" that brings a sparkle! My seven-year-old daughter learned about how to spot a God sighting while attending VBS this summer.
Jessica told us all about how God "shows up" - in a sunset, a rainbow, our friends and family; it's a moment or a season when we know that God is reaching out to us.
It's been my experience that God sightings usually happen when we particularly need help or reassurance from God. (As a mom, I could use these daily!) Well, we experienced a HUGE God sighting recently when Jessica shared that she had asked Jesus into her heart! Obviously, a thrilling moment for us and an answer to our prayers for her!
Whether at work or at home, I hope that this story serves as an encouragement to you that our work in the Lord is not in vain. As we serve in the church (perhaps as a volunteer at VBS!), at a ministry, or in the community, don't lose sight that God is at work, even bringing the little ones to Him.
When we asked Jessica about her new commitment, she responded, "well, I just LOVE Jesus!" God "showed up" by using her words to remind me what it's all about.
On the lookout for God sightings,
