See It Themselves
“Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” - John 11:40
Have you ever met someone who does not believe what you say until they have seen it with their own eyes? These people might label themselves as “cautious,” but in reality, they are just naturally skeptical. They refuse to believe until their own eyes have seen.
These are the type of people that God needs you for…to show them firsthand how He works. These are the people who often can’t take that leap of faith on their own until they have seen it firsthand.
This is why Paul went back to Lystra, because there were some people who relied on him, some people who were looking to him, and they needed to know that God is able to pick them up and turn them around.
They needed a firsthand demonstration that you can be knocked down one day and standing the next. That is why you and I should never be ashamed to tell our testimony because there are people who watched what they went through and they are truly considering giving up on their situation and throwing in the towel because they saw what we went through.
Paul understood that there were people who needed to see that he went through what he went through and that he made it; that he had taken a licking and was still ticking. They needed to see that he was still standing, still smiling, still serving, and still preaching. Paul was walking confirmation of the Word he had preached to them.
The question is, are you? Let’s face it, there are some people who aren’t just going to take your word for it. They want to see it for themselves. They are looking to see if you walk the walk or just simply talk the talk. For some, your life might be the greatest example of God’s love, mercy, and grace that they ever witness.
There are some who just won’t give their lives to God without seeing it for themselves. Now, if they were to see you, would that point them to Him? God may be asking you today, to be the example for those who must “see it for themselves.”
