What a fascinating experience – it can be so helpful to observe the ways other groups express faithfulness and ideas/beliefs about God, somehow in seeing them our own views are often made more clear. Thanks for sharing, Lisa.

I appreciate that you don’t judge others that worship hand made gods. I’m convinced that’s the only way that they’ll be open enough to see God’s love and truth of Him through us.

My mom visited a Hindu temple once. She had forgotten to turn off her cell phone, which rang to the tune of “When the Saints Come Marching In,” during her visit. She was mortified, and had meant no disrespect. I would have been mortified too, but it sort of reminded me of when the Philistines found their god face down in front of the ark of the covenant. I believe anyone who truly seeks God will find Him, regardless of what religion they are born into, raised with, etc. When we are reflecting His image we can be a part of that miraculous event! Blessings!

May we walk in Christ as we encounter others of varied beliefs. May our outer self look like Jesus to others as we grow more and more like Him on the inside.
Being willing and able to stand firmly planted in the One Who created us and Who loves us while we visit and/or talk with those God brings onto our paths so that they may see Christ in us.
Praising God with you, Lisa.

Made in His image. Can’t get much better than that! Love that you talked about a God who is alive and with us.

Hi Lisa Notes,

This line of yours is my favorite today: “Our God walks with us. In us. We are his priests (Revelation 1:6). We are his temple”

How gracious of the Hindu priests to welcome you and to hand you fruit. I have some Indian Hindu friends too. We ask each other questions and seek to understand.

Lisa, this was just a beautiful post. I like the idea that you visited a Hindu temple. And though we won’t follow their beliefs, sometimes we can learn a thing or two about worship from other religions.

I especially liked your conclusion as you walked out the door – that we are made in God’s image, and in some miraculously mysterious way, His Spirit actually lives withIN us! I think it’s good meditation to ponder all that that truth means. And I think it’s also very wise to continue on our journey of becoming more like His Son…

GOD BLESS!

What a beautiful picture of the God who who came to us — rather than expecting us to cobble together a way to find Him. What a great opportunity you had to see this first hand! Thanks for sharing it !

What a difference between the God we serve and all the other gods! Ours is the only one who became like us, who died for us, who rose again and now intercedes for us. And He has not left us alone but sent the Holy Spirit to live within us to guide us. We cannot work to earn our salvation because He has done it all. We could never do enough. He created us in His image and pours out His love in so many ways. It humbles me and fills me with gratitude to God. I don’t have to worry if I’m accepted or if I mess up, because He loves me and forgives. Because of Him I can be creative and reach out to others. I can show respect to every human being because we are all created in His image. Blessings to you! I’m visiting from #SmallWonder.
