SHOW ME THE HARMONICA ( MOUTH ORGAN)!
( 1 JOHN 2:12-17).
A young American engineer called Billy, was sent to Ireland by his company to work in a new electronics plant. It was a two-year assignment that he had accepted because it would enable him to earn enough to marry his long-time girlfriend. She had a job near her home in Tennessee, and their plan was to pool their resources and put a down payment on a house when he returned. They corresponded often, but as the lonely weeks went by, she began expressing doubts that he was being true to her because of the beautiful Irish girls he worked with. The young engineer wrote back, declaring with some passion that he was not looking at other girls. His girlfriend then sent him a package. It contained a note and a harmonica ( mouth organ). “I am sending this to you, “ She wrote, “So you can learn to play it and have something to take your mind off those girls.”
The engineer replied, “Thanks for the harmonica. I ‘m practicing on it every night and thinking of you.” At the end of two years, the engineer was transferred back to company headquarters. He took the first plane to Tennessee to be reunited with his girl. Her whole family was with her, but as he rushed forward to embrace hand and held up a restraining hand and said sternly, “Just hold on there a minute, Billy. Before any serious ‘kissing and hugging’ gets started here, let me here you play that harmonica!” Everyone at the airport was shocked but all the lady wanted was an EVIDENCE and a PROOF that her boyfriend had not looked at any other girl back in Ireland.
Likewise, when you tell the Harmonica ( THE EVIDENCE).” You cannot claim to love the Lord when you disobey HIM SECRETLY! You cannot claim to love the Lord when you talk, dress, smell, speak like the world, or when you listen to what the world listens to. How can you claim to love the Lord whom you don’t see when you don’t love His people whom you see? It doesn’t matter if you can quote the entire Bible, if you live like you have never opened it! Obedience is the outward EVIDENCE of your inner fear of God. Oh, this is your year you must show your “3 FRIENDS” the HARMONICA, the EVIDENCE that YOU LOVE THEM! Your life may be the only Bible some men may ever read!
Watch it!
