The Gift of Invisibility



I giggled today at a thought. I was thinking about the times when God is most glorified by us. See, we are supposed to be servant hearted. Feet washers, like Jesus. Free to accomplish great things, but not free to take all the credit.

If every good and perfect gift is from God, every single thing we accomplish is because He graced us with the ability to do it. So in a sense, we should be invisible. Should duck out of the spotlight so it can get a clear shot of our Creator. Then the praise can be piled rightly on Him.

It’s funny because God is invisible. Haven’t met a photographer who’s managed to catch him on film. But suddenly He becomes incredibly visible when we decide to be invisible. When we lay down our pride in our achievements at his feet and bow in humility.

In our invisibility, we make God visible.

Funny. I knew the Bible said we’d become more like Him.
