Signs

Signs, signs everywhere signs... remember the old song. Well the past couple of weeks, signs have been on my mind. I guess because we tore down the old church sign and just today had the new one installed. It's funny, someone said that a friend asked if we went out of business because our sign was missing. Hopefully, today they will realize that we are back in business and doing better than ever.

This got me thinking. What is our sign? Is is just for information? Does it show that we occupy some space? Or is it the symbol of what is inside? I hope it is the latter. What is the sign on your life, my life? Is it the external looks? I think it is the external actions that come about because of our internal character. Our sign is seen 24/7. Only we don't consider it as a sign. It is our behavior. The way we interact with people. Our sign is always on. We can have our sign changed. Only God is able to change our sign.

Most people go through their Entire life with the same sign. Only an encounter with the Creator God is it possible for our sign to be changed. Some have tried to change it themselves, yet underneath the old sign reappears. God changes us from the inside out. Then people see the difference that He makes and question what has happened to the old sign, old you. This Easter is a great time to allow God to change our sign. I'm ready for it, are you?
