I realize with time my relationship with God has changed as well it should; change is God, change is good.
Like loose coins in our pocket we jingle in this journey of life. Never settling down, always passing through hands, always on a pilgrimage from one bank to another. From one story to another, exchanging thoughts, words, actions. We change, the Word encourages flawless change…and life is good. Change is good.
The Word changes in meaning, shape, form depending on the place we are at, our growth, our maturity, the wisdom God has given us. Our great Creator, whatever name He has given you according to your relationship with Him. I used to be afraid to share God with others, but now I real eyes just how silly that is, because we all have the breath of life within us. I also realize that we are all on our independent journey. A journey that is so intimate no one can tell another what is right or what is wrong, although we can exchange our coins with one another.
Some of us carry really polished coins. God has been working with us. We start out as pennies, a bit rough around the edges, and somewhere along the line we graduate to nickels and dimes. Woo hoo! We think the dross is gone, we’ve made it. But not yet, not yet. We must still press in, so we may experience what it is like to become, why, the silver dollar! Imagine that.
Of course I am speaking in nonsense to all of you straight laced believers. Perhaps it would help if I broke it down like this.
Life is about change, flow with it. We are like water rushing down a river, moving at a pace so fast we find our breath hard to catch and yet as long as we inhale, why there it is. God is always sitting with us, we simply don’t always recognize the shape He will take. We don’t always recognize the message when He gives it to us.
Perhaps it is because it doesn’t come in the pretty package we wanted. Or it didn’t meet our expectation of what we thought God was supposed to be. But that is what is so beautiful about the Word, which is the living God. It is dressed up in so many different ways. If you don’t like what you see, the answer is simple. Pray for another way to express the Word, and see what God does with it. Wait and see.
Maybe He will give you a thesaurus to better interpret the Words he has showered on you as blessings for the day. And that is my rant and rave for today. Prays The Word, that is the living light always with us, in one way or another.
