What is your portrait of God?
George Buttrick, former chaplain at Harvard, recalls that students would come into his office and declare, "I don't believe in God." Buttrick would give this disarming reply: "Sit down and tell me what kind of God you don't believe in. I probably don't believe in that God either."
One thing that makes us unique is how we all have a different portrait of God. I remember sitting down with Junior High students and asking them to draw a portrait of God. Each child was unique in their own perspective. One child drew a bunch of stick figures. Then she stated, "I can only see God through other people."
How are you drawing a portrait of God for those around you?
