There is a really interesting account in Acts 5:12-15 that talks about the fact that people would be placed on the streets so that Peters shadow would fall on them. What is my presence doing to people? Is that fact that I am a believer, a Christ follower, an ambassador of Christ…. filled with the Holy Spirit making a difference on the people that I am in close proximity to?
What is your “shadow” or “precence” doing to others? Are they touched by the presence of God in and through you? Do they see fruit in your life and are they sensing doubt, or a trust that God is able to do anything?
Apparently there was something about Peter that made people carry the sick unto the streets so that his shadow might just fall on them. The question I ask myself today is this “what is my shadow doing to people”?
