We are now in the season when we receive catalogs in the mail. Every trip to the mail box ends with an armload of catalogs. In a way, Christians are God’s catalogs. We are His illustration to the world of what He has to offer. His work in our lives makes us a picture of qualities that people may not know they need or want until they see them at work in us. Jesus prayed that His followers would be unified so the world would know that God sent Him and loved them as God loved Him (John 17:23). When Christ is alive in us, we become examples of God’s love. We can not manufacture love. God is the manufacturer, and we are His workmanship. As we browse those catalogs, let us consider what the “catalog” of our lives say about God. Do people see qualities in us that make them long for God? As Christians we are God’s advertisement! Do people want what they see in us? — John 13:35
