They Incarnate the Heart of God

Whenever we seize a divine moment, we magnify the presence of God. To act on God’s behalf is to express what’s on His mind and on His heart. When we do this, we become a flagship of God’s activity. It is the contemporary equivalent of the pagans who called the followers of Jesus Christ Christians because they looked like Jesus. They moved in divine rhythm. To watch a believer live was to see God move. They were not carbon copies of Jesus, but dynamic expressions of His character. And when things got tough, the image of Christ in them became clear. No matter how dark darkness is, it is never enough to snuff out the light. (Erwin Raphael McManus, Seizing Your Divine Moment)
