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.
