But no matter if it is still slightly dark like this morning when we left there is always someone (usually more than someone) who admires Maple and states she is the most beautiful dog they have ever seen. And I graciously say “thank you”. I have begun to wonder why I say “thank you” when I had nothing to do with her creation. I tell Maple daily that she is the dog of the Kingdom, the lead dog of Jesus, and when He wants to pet His doggies she will lead them in to sit at Jesus’ feet. After all He made her very Alpha.
But back to all these compliments she gets – Maple doesn’t know anything about them. She is always glad to give somebody a kiss and that is her way of being friendly. But she does not know how stunningly beautiful she is.
My point is that perhaps Christians should be a little like Maple. Reflect the glory of God and be sure we are reflecting the glory of God. We are after all insufficient within ourselves to do anything. Apart from Jesus what can we do? Let us be glad to belong to His family and give God all the glory!
