● The
following is a testimony of a police officer from Police
Headquarters in Brisbane City..........Sergeant Doug is from the
'Church of Christ Denomination'. |
Another new day is here where work, community and
personal events will present themselves and create the daily
challenge.
It's 6.20am, a very cool winters morning, and the sun
struggles to rise above the city landscape. There on a
street corner, a figure of a person, small in statue but big
in heart, smiles and greets all who would pause a moment.
I experience an up-lifting of my heart and soul as a
"God-filled smile" shares this new day with me. For you
see a smile, a "God-filled smile" is:-
|
S |
is for
Saviour who
has forgiven my sins; |
|
M |
is for
My
acknowledgement that 'Jesus is Lord' of
My life; |
|
I |
is for the
reminder,
I
have Jesus with me each step of the way; |
|
L |
is for the
Love
that God has for each and everyone of us; and |
|
E |
is the
Encouragement
God gives through a
Smile from people like the
street-side figure. |
|
Thank you for sharing that
smile Pastor Paul Sheehan and
may we all KEEP-ON
SMILING
for Him. |
P.S. The Hymn you sang the other
day.....how true it is......
"What a friend we have in Jesus". |
Footnote by: JTCM........(text - John
14:23)
Dear reader, you also can be forgiven of your
sins (if you repent) and make (allow)
Jesus the Christ to be your lord (owner,
ruler) and he will be with you (as long
as you remain with him) all the way, for
God-Yahweh loves to save sinners from hell fire.
Then you (like the street-side figure)
will be able to smile and people from all walks
of life will be able to recognise that your
smile is no ordinary (plastic) smile but
(a supernatural smile) the smile of almighty God's
encouragement (grace) passing through an earthen
vessel.....amen.....click....click. |
