View in laravel 4.0 error undefined variable

Im newbie in laravel and php, im using laravel 4.0 I want to show the user profile that is already logged in via the menu view profile but there is always an error

Undefined variable: user

This is my Layout.blade.php

<li class="dropdown {{Request::is('users*') ? 'active' : ''}}">
   <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Profile <b class="caret"></b></a>
   <ul class="dropdown-menu">

         <a href="{{ action('UserController@show', array($user->id)) }}">{{Sentry::getUser()->email}}</a>
      </li>
   </ul>

This my UserController.php

public function show($id)
{
    $user = $this->user->byId($id);


    if ($user == null || !is_numeric($id)) {
        // @codeCoverageIgnoreStart
        return \App::abort(404);
        // @codeCoverageIgnoreEnd
    }

    return View::make('users.show')
    ->with('user', $user);

}

Correct me if I wrong.

Just wondering Layout.blade.php file. Your controller file return to users.show layout file. I guess that your folder structure look like 

 /users/show.blade.php

Are your return to show.blade.php or layout.blade.php?

Check this line of your code

  $user =$this->user->byId($id);

I think it should be changed to User::byId. and also there need to have a function defined as byId in the User model. or else use eloquent functions such as User::find($id)

Try replacing above line with below code line

$user=User::find($id);
