Spirituality. How can we check? Measure? Well, we have to see whether it's scriptural, some say. What if they are all scriptural but don't flow together, I mean the focus. It does scare me where spiritual things are concerned. Not because I am not certain in God... I believe in God with all of my heart. I love Him and I do have conversations with Him. I do feel Him close to me. But when people go different directions, it bothers me. It's the same Spirit we are talking about. Yet it can be so subjective. No proofs, no evidence. I know my God does not cause fear and confusion to me.
So, I questioned Him...He answered... 'It's like a humongous artwork.. with different artists but the same Art Director. Only I have the picture in mind, you are to work on your patch.'
'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what I have prepared for those who love Me... I am Spirit, I reveal in Spirit... There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.' (1 Corinthians 2:9;12:4-6)
I went on to read the subsequent verses and understood. He is God, He has full control over what is being received, perceived and achieved! Then He went on to give me a vision... different streams of rivers flow in different directions, yet arrive at the same ocean. He is the ultimate destination.It is impossible to know fully how God works, what the entire picture looks like but for now, it is sufficient for me to just catch a glimpse. He is God, anyways. Like a little child, I am so excited that I get to have my hands dirty to paint. I am convicted to work towards fulfilling my portion of artwork, let others do theirs, and when all is patched up, we will ( I am sure!) complete with a wonderful, a more beautiful than beautiful masterpiece for the Lord!
Thank You, Lord...
