Leaking Jesus

6/29/2012

 
Picture
The air mattress my daughter slept on was slowly sinking.

We were sleeping at a relative’s house, and my husband felt she was big enough now to forgo the playpen that I had brought.

“She’ll have more room to move,” he had said, blowing it up just for her.

But he was sound asleep when I began to notice the mattress getting mushy.


My daughter was asleep on it – right next to our high double bed, and I didn’t like the feeling of her sinking throughout the night. So I set pillows up alongside our bed so she wouldn’t roll off into the abyss underneath.

But that must not have done the trick because I woke to a little moan and jumping up, I rescued her from where she had rolled.

What an inspirational man Bob Goff is! Thank you for sharing his story. I plan to spring a few leak, but more than that, this story reminded me not to seek recognition for myself, but to let Jesus shine through and give the glory to Him.

Blessings - Jan

Thanks Jan! Loved reading about his story too. He just came out with a book called, "Love Does." I haven't read it yet - but I'll bet it's a good one. http://www.amazon.com/Love-Does-Discover-Secretly-Incredible/dp/1400203759/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1334178752&sr=1-1 -- (here's the link to it on Amazon. hope it works!)

Wonderful! When we get out (of our boxes), that's when people start coming in (to Christ)!

One wonderful man of God came to my mind when you asked the question at the end of your blog. A previous pastor of ours. I got to see him recently and he doesn't just "leak" Jesus, he has a huge crack in him that just runs like a waterfall ! It is always a pleasure and a spirit lifter to be around him.
