I was talking to someone the other day who was saying how it was such a struggle because they couldn't see God. And I remember thinking about that a lot over the years, and thinking that faith meant believing in God even though you can't see Him. But when she said that I was thinking about how visible God is. And how Jesus says the world won't see me but you guys are going to see me allover the place when I'm gone to his disciples. And I think that the more we become acquainted with who God is, the more tangible and visible he becomes. God really isn't invisible at all. Its just a matter of knowing what he looks like. My friends..God is written all over them. They just pour out God. I've never seen anything like it. Such deep spirituality even though we're young.Seriously were just a bunch of college trying to see where we fit into this big world. And I have been surrounded by a group with deep courage, radical faith, and passionate love for God. Maybe most in the miracles he works in me. I will come to spend time with him distracted and uninterested and unable to get into the Word and then all of a sudden-I'm immersed, its like being thrown into the ocean. And beginning to see his hands and the way they move things, the way conversations mysteriously turn to the Lord, the people I run into at just the right moment, just hearing stories and looking at God moving mountains in people's souls. And all people end out living for things that are super real though intangible. Living for success and love and glory..or things that are visible but ridiculous like money. Its just paper really. People living for paper. All of our lives deeply affected by this paper. And yes I know it signifies something deeper, but think about it: isn't that the way God is?
Literally in the time I've sat in this coffee shop I talked to my friend Jacob about God's spirit, a girl from college life stopped by and we talked about life with God, the girl at the table next to me was reading her bible, I got to share life with my mom, God revealed to me this whole new connection about Spirit and wind and breath and how they are all the same. Like I saw Him in a whole new way today. And in this hour or whatever the Spirit moved in me. And this is life. This is what it looks like-continously being astounded by who God is and how here he is. And I came in here and the first thing I wrote in my journal was how my heart was entirely unable to reach God-distracted and unsure what to do and not even knowing how to approach Him. Like none of this is me. Its all Him.
