The Seeing Eye

“Looking for God — or Heaven — by exploring space is like reading or seeing all Shakespeare’s plays in the hope you will find Shakespeare as one of the characters or Stratford as one of the places. Shakespeare is in one sense present at every moment in every play. But he is never present in the same way as Falstaff or Lady Macbeth, nor is he diffused through the play like a gas.

“If there were an idiot who thought plays exist on their own, without an author, our belief in Shakespeare would not be much affected by his saying, quite truly, that he had studied all the plays and never found Shakespeare in them…..

“To some, God is discoverable everywhere; to others, nowhere. Those who do not find him on earth are unlikely to find him in space. (Hang it all, we’re in space already; every year we go a huge circular tour in space.) But send up a saint in a spaceship and he’ll find God in space as he found God on earth. Much depends on the seeing eye.”

hi :)

JoY as our strength

how do we practice joy?

by choosing to be joyful through our trials.  allowing ourselves to be led by joy as we go through things.  we go through storms, but that doesn’t mean storms should go through us.

love.

“For now we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face. My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood. Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love—yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.” 

1 Cor 13:12-13 (TPT).

faith & trust

"The cracks are where the light shines through. It’s where grace breathes and moves and lives. 

It’s in the admission of our finiteness that we can explore the infiniteness of God. 

Sometimes, it’s in the “letting go,” the surrender and the admission of weakness, that the finding begins… 

And if we’re honest, the finding lasts a lifetime.


Thank God for that."

God

Sometimes all it takes is an act of faith, for your testimony to be fulfilled!

Taking Up The Cross

“For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep. For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world with everything it could offer you — at the cost of your own life — what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul?” Jesus. 

(Matt 16:25-26 PT).

God answers; with presence @pktfuel

When we limit our prayers and desires to the material, we are limiting our perception of what God can and wants to do in our lives. We limit his will. Imagine if we lived and prayed like God’s will for us has more to do with WHO we become, not WHAT we become? How we move through the ups and downs of life, not the removal of the downs?

God hears us all – our every word and prayer. And he longs for us to see him more and more as he is. The divine who is peace in storms, strength in weakness, wisdom in foolishness, hope in hopelessness, purpose in rejection, forgiveness in repentance, restoration in brokenness, life in death…

Present in prayer.

Seek God to fashion you in the midst of your season, not to remove the season of fashioning. Open your eyes to see that beauty can come from the most unexpected places.

Jesus prayed, “not my will but yours be done…"

Maybe we should too.

Conformity | Transformation

“Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.” 

Rom 12:1-2 (MSG).
