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.
