inkling

As we gobble on tidbits of information, we attempt to communicate our ideas. With social media comments and criticisms, it seems that everyone has an opinion and wants to follow different truths. The root systems of our morality, are eroded. We have lost our sense of the Divine.

Our society tells us what to think, but we need to recognize the wonders and grow in wisdom and get pulled out of the rhythms of our culture and reconnect with an encounter with God. I have an inkling that in the flatland geography of our modern world; there is so much more to explore in the spiritual realm.

People want to run the line. Right is right and wrong is wrong and there are no greys. Jesus is the only Way. He is the truth and the light and no one comes to the Father but through Him.

When people walk away from truth; when people deny Jesus; when people run from God they find themselves trapped in a prison, desperate for freedom with people throwing them keys in the cells of their life thinking that they will escape. The reality is that life is a process to unlocking identity. My identity is in Christ. Sometimes we have to move away from God to realize how desperately we need Him.

“It is the prodigals… that the memory of their Father’s house comes back. If the son had lived economically, he would never have thought of returning.” Simone Weil.

And so I implore and plead with others to get in touch with the Divine - the Creator of the universe, the Almighty, the God of wonders and let Him reveal himself and speak His truth in love. He is listening.

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4: 1-6
