Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender
heart, and a humble mind.
And that's how we make our testimony of faith, isn't it? When we love somebody, even when we
can't see him, we say he's tugging at our heart-strings. And when we confess that Jesus is Lord
and Saviour, we feel the tug of his love inside. Even though he's disappeared from sight for a
while, we know he's alive, and we know where he's at, and we know what he's doing, and we
know he's coming back again. That's the testimony we make with Paul here: Our lives are now
hidden with Christ in God, and when Christ appears, we will be with him in glory!
(I Peter 3:8
NRSV)
A man and his little boy were testing the Springtime winds with a brand-new kite. It was a big
kite, colorful and fancy. And they had a huge spool of string. The breezes were blowing stiff. And
the kite begged to run wild. And so they let out all the string. And the kite went so high that the
little boy couldn't even see it anymore. Is it still there? he asked. Yeah, it's still there! But how do
you know for sure? I can't see it anymore! I know it's still there, his Dad said, because I can feel it
tugging at the string!
Dear Jesus, keep tugging at my heart-strings, as I build my faith by sharing God's hope. Amen.
