To Bind and Loose....

I read Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell about 18 months ago and one of the things that I remember (which by now has fused together with some other readings) is that one of our objectives as believers is to "spy with our little eyes something holy"

That objective is Tour Guiding.

We are all on this ride called "life", some lives are traveling faster and some slower. Some are in remote locations. Some are in plain sight of millions. Some are through the eyes of a 5 year old while others are through eyes that have seen many more years.

We are all experiencing it. We can't dilute it. We can't deny it. What we can do is point IT out.

You see the holy spirit resides in everything. E-V-E-R-Y-THING. The best thing you can think of and the worst thing you can think of.

As you mature in your faith you start to see it more and more. The presence becomes more and more prevalent in everything. Your job, therefore, is to point it out.

God doesn't bless us with His presence, because He is present everywhere. God blesses us with us realizing His presence.

You should look, point, and say "On your left you will see God helping that woman cross the street and on your right you'll see God holding that door open for that lady in the wheelchair".

Don't ask God to join you where you are, ask God for you to join Him.

Simple Nuance, Bigger Understanding.
