Truly the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love.
(Psalm 33.18 NRSV)

I read about a man who stopped his car in front of a house that Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter had helped to build for Habitat for Humanity. A little boy was standing in the front yard. He was probably five or six years old.

The little lad ran out and put his hands on the side of the car, and said, "Man, you sure got a pretty car."

The man in the car replied, "Well, you sure got a pretty house. Which one of these houses is yours?"

The little fellow said proudly, "That one."

The man in the car asked, "Young man, who built your house?" He thought the boy was going to say, "President Jimmy Carter built my house." But, instead, the lad gave a big smile, and said, "Jesus built my house."

The little fellow was right. I believe Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter would gladly testify that they do their good works because once upon a time Jesus Christ touched their lives. How can we deny the worth of such testimony?

Loving God, May I be a witness of your love and hope. Amen.
