Last night we engaged in a powerful reflection on God's ways of how we sense his presence in our lives. Some people said that they felt God revealing his "glory," through dreams, thunder, hugs, silent voices, wisdom, and more. But what inspired me was how one student talked about a profoundly intimate encounter with God. They described the encounter as God penetrating their whole being.
I also saw how we enter that liminal space spiritually when asking Jesus to help us with our unbelief. We believe, but we also have unbelief.
From here we were challenged to do the following this week:
Write a letter to God expressing what He has revealed to you about your current challenges.
Share with a family member or friend something that was revealed to you in tonight's session.
Create a representation (poem, image, song) of your perseverance or revelation experience to share with the group next week.
You can share your thoughts by selecting the comment box.
Faith in waiting is enormous; we humans often want something instantaneously. Whenever we wait and are patient with ourselves, hoping that our light is growing brighter, we are on a path of enlightenment. The waiting helps me turn on the light of expectation, the light of growing in the word of Christ. My spirit wants to lead me, to turn on the light of hope; turn on the light of faith. As we journey daily, we discover our gifts from above; the light shines brighter. Turn it on!! In the book of Matthew 5:11, He speaks of the light, "You are the light of the world".
Being a Christ-conscious person, every day, I discover a word to lift me, a sentence in the word that inspires me, and the angel of light to see me through the expectation of yet another day.
