Description

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child’s work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, “I’m drawing God.” The teacher paused and said, “But no one knows what God looks like.” Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, “They will in a minute.” Oh the confidence of childhood! It never even occurred to this little girl that someone wouldn’t believe her or that she didn’t know what she was doing. She simply assumed that she had what it took to picture God and that people would appreciate the finished product. After all, it’s her experience of God so who can argue with that? It’s this same sense of personal authority that exudes from the book called The Holy Bible. This most widely read book in the history of the world continues to inspire millions of people as they look for a picture of God to include within the portrait of their lives. And the fact that there are so many differing pictures might say something about the differing authors included in this Book.
