Pointing to God

There’s a modern legend of a young girl attending a Sunday school class. After the lesson, the girl sits down and begins furiously drawing a picture. Her teacher approaches and asks what she’s working on.

“I’m drawing a picture of God,” she says.

Charmed (and might I say a little smug), her teacher replies, “But nobody knows what God looks like.”

Sincerely and patiently, the little girl points out, “That’s because I’m not finished yet.”
