The Unseen

Three brothers met and prayed. They are brothers not by birth, but by rebirth. They prayed for each other, for their families and their work. They prayed for direction, for protection and help. And they prayed that in all things, God would be seen in them and through them, for they are His.

Little can have as great a meaning or effect as this. It is a demonstration of what God intends for us in one another - His body. Spirit talking with spirit; talking through the Spirit to the One who sees and hears everything.

Jesus is never more clearly seen than when we attend to the spirits of men through the Holy Spirit of God given us. We must work. We must earn and provide, and this is of God. But the need of our souls is our greatest need, and it is the greatest need of everyone you see today, and tomorrow, and the very moment you walk away from this screen.

An encouraging word, a gentle smile, a pat on the pack, a hug around the neck, or a simple prayer for, or with, another; these are what make your day worthwhile, because these speak to the spirit. And, they reveal the Christ.

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians. 4:18)
