Drawing People to the Power of God

As explained in yesterday’s post, we can be the type of person that connects the power of God to others. What gets in our way at times is that we take ourselves too seriously. Children remind us to just be ourselves. They just say whatever they think without being concerned about what others may think. I once heard a funny story of a 3-year old child who started their prayer like this, “Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name.” 🙂

It’s important to be comfortable in our own skin, to have a calm soul, and to feel we have a purpose in life. People were drawn to Jesus during His ministry on earth. Today, with the chance to study His life and with the help through the Holy Spirit, our personality can be shaped into the person we need to be so people are drawn to God.

We each have a skill to offer. This thought is underscored in the book, “The Richest Man in Town” by V.J. Smith. It’s about a simple man that ran a cash register at Wal-Mart. His name was Marty Martinson and this is how his obituary read:

Aaron “Marty” Martinson
1926-2004

Marty left an indelible mark on the many people who passed through his line at Wal-Mart. No one was a stranger in his line, merely a friend in waiting. His life, guided by his positive attitude, was an inspiration to many people. Sad with loss of a husband, father, and friend, people take comfort in knowing that Heaven has found a new greeter.

To inspire our day towards this thought of drawing people to the power of God, here’s a video: Free To Be Me – Francesca Battistelli.



This day with God, pray that His power would cause a revival in the nation so that a sacrificial humble personality is more honorable than a worldly, prideful, materialistic, and entitled one which many societies seem to promote. Pray to be free to be the wonderful person you are.

Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him and He began to teach them. – Mark 2:13
