God is as dependent on you as you are on Him.

- Mahalia Jackson

One good way to know whether something is working is to actually see it work.  No matter what your philosophy, regardless how much you believe it, if it does not produce, it is worthless.  God is the same way.  We can talk about Him, sing about Him, pray to Him, for Him and about Him, but if His glory is not produced in our lives, what are we really saying?  The only way for God to be seen is through our lives.  Our lives must reflect all the things we say God is.  We are His hands, feet, eyes and voice.  Our lives reflect who and what God is.  Are we living a happy life?  Are we thinking peaceful thoughts?   The only way for God to demonstrate who He is, is for us to do it for Him.  We must demonstrate what we know about God in the way we think, talk, walk, and live.  God is peace.  God is strength.  God is mercy.  God is forgiving.  God is all knowing, all powerful, abundant, radiant life.  God is love.  To know God is to be like Him.  All else is a figment of your imagination.

If I want to know who God is, I look at me.
