~It Shows~

21.March.2026

You do not have to announce it.

We have spent nine days talking about what it means to really know Him. Not know about Him, but know Him. And today we land on this. When you actually know Him, when you have spent real time in His presence you have drawn near, learned His voice, trusted Him in the difficult places, and it shows. You don’t have to tell anyone because they can see it before you even open your mouth.

Acts 4:13 says it simple. The religious leaders looked at Peter and John, who were ordinary men with no formal credentials, and they took note that they had been with Jesus. Not that they had attended the right schools, nor that they had impressive titles. They had been with Jesus and it was visible on them.

That is the standard and that is the goal.

Galatians 5:22-23 describes what it looks like, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.” This is not a checklist to perform. This is a portrait of someone who has spent time with Him. You do not manufacture this fruit because you cultivate it in your secret place and it shows up everywhere else, in your countenance, in your tone of voice, in your expressions, in the way you treat people when nothing is going your way. Oh boy!

And 2 Corinthians 3:18 explains how it happens, “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory.” You become what you behold. The more time you spend looking at Him, the more you begin to reflect Him, not by trying harder, but staying close.

Know Him. Stay close. Let it show.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
