God's Face

Yesterday as we were finishing up our live tour of one of the last Underground Railroad stops, our slave guide faced us with a question on our last step to "freedom". She asked us "Where is God, Where can he be found". We all looked around at each other, searching for the right answer. As Christians, this single question defines our faith journey. Where do we meet God? She noticed our inquisitive stares and said "Well he's right here!" She told us to look around at the people around us, she said we each are the face of God. She said if you look up at the sky on a sunny day or listen for a laugh or a prayer, that's where God is. Behind smiles and love and sunshine. God is in each and everyone of us when we choose to be good and faithful Christians. We are the face of God, so we should show everybody the same love and compassion and forgiveness God would. The question isn't "Where is God" anymore, but rather "How do I show others the face of God".
