All factors or aspects of God have become my amazement.
His Spirit, that Jesus said He would leave us
when He goes, is here; but it’s sure not human as we started.
Jesus even said we would do greater
things after He is gone as we are empowered by this Holy Spirit. You mean than walking on water, multiplying lunch
for thousands, raising a dead loved one?
Greater than these few examples?
But this fire, this Spirit that is
poured upon us, not made as human yet working within and around human, is
available to us.
Experiencing times I would define as if I were pierced with higher power, greater strength or enlightened
to do what I couldn't a few minutes earlier, I can only say it is not controlled
or manipulated; but moves at its own will as any fire does when the Wind (God)
blows. Even now I hesitate to speak of
it and the total reasoning is not real clear except what if I speak wrong, what
if I tell it without clarity for I am but a learner of its wonders.
So
often I feel like the blind man who was healed and knew not why or who Jesus
was, but just that someone came by and healed him when he asked.
Questioned by many, he could only say “he came, told me to wash out my
eyes, and now I see.” I can so relate to
this type of grace as I push in to find out who and what this story tells.
Or I love the story of Zacchaeus, the chief
tax collector, in the sycamore tree trying to see this man/God Jesus. Who was He, what did He look like? Which man was he among all the people? Stopping to look up, Jesus must have smiled
with such compassion as He tells him He wants to eat at his house today. Full of my own folly, I often see myself like this small structured man of stand off curiosity; hungering so deeply to
find Him among the crowd, in creation, following this wondrous Spirit that encounters
my heart with such extreme passion.
Learning what Word says since I was a child; but experiencing what or
how this effects my life is fascinating.
Could it be this simple, could it be such that
it only takes a curious surrendered heart? I believe
so and I believe He placed that curious heart within so that He could continually
grant new revelations to fill my eyes with more love and questions to keep me going. No matter who you are or what judgment you or someone
else place on you, He answers with new pieces of His amazing puzzle as we
delight in His beauty.
Going to the
great and small, Spirit simply says, “Wanna come?” Jesus continues to build His kingdom from surrendering curious hearts. Our questions explode as He grows and stirs within … how come, where will it, which is
better, when do I, etc, etc, …!
