Our Scripture reading today is Luke 8:27-28.
Verse 28, "When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not."
As soon as the demoniac saw the Lord Jesus, the demons inside of him knew they were no match for His power. They had complete mastery over the man, but not over the God man. They could control every move of the maniac, but not of the Master. What a difference Jesus made in the life of this lunatic.
Today, we have many people around us who need to see Jesus Christ. The world, the flesh, and the devil have had their way with them. They do not need to see a pastor or church member. They do not need to see a church building or another self help book. They NEED to see Jesus! It is our testimony that ought to enable people to see a little more of Jesus. Do others see Jesus is you?
The following song is one that speaks to my heart every time I hear it:
Is the face that I see in the mirror
The one I want others to see
Do I show in the way that I walk in my life
The love that You've shown me
My heart's desire is to be like You
In all that I do, all I am
Do they see Jesus in me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus in me
It's amazing that You'd ever use me
But use me the way You will
Help me to hold out a heart of compassionate grace
A heart that You're spirit fills
May I show forgiveness and mercy
The same way you've shown it to me
Do they see Jesus in me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus in me
Now I want to show all the world who You are
The reason I live and breathe
So You'll be the One that they see
When they see me
Do they see Jesus in me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus in me

Have a wonderful day.
