Our hope rests in God. When God shows up and does the
work of transformation, and resurrection in our lives, our part is to recognize
God. And if you're not sure how to recognize God, look for love. And I mean, every time. Look for the love in
your life. And when you look there, you see God and you recognize that God has
been at work in resurrection all around you all the time.
This is when you begin to believe. When you cut someone off in traffic, because
you're thinking about something, you didn't mean to do it, you're a very good
person, we all know, but you cut someone off, and then you realize you do it,
and then that person drives by you, and instead of giving you the finger, waves
at you, and is like, I get it, it's okay. Recognize God's presence, please. That's
God.
When you're at the airport, and you see two people that
you have no idea who they are, and they clearly haven't seen each other in a
while and they grab each other and embrace when they see each other, recognize
God's presence. When you're coming off the highway, and you see that man
who's standing on the side asking for money, you know, that guy, maybe you give
him a dollar and maybe you don't, but when you see him, you make eye contact
with him and you say, hello. And when he looks at you and you look at him and
you see each other's eyes, friends, that's God at work.
