Sitting late one friday evening, I’m contemplating what have been the highlights of this week. They include a very spirit-filled small-group meeting monday, some classes which have just brought more confusion to my mind, getting my new mobile phone Thursday, hanging out with friends, kebab club, playing at the experience, and other Newbold stuff.
On the downside, I’ve hurt people I care deeply about. I’ve also been exposed to theological rhethorics about the angry part of God.
Somehow, I feel like there should be more. What if every day could be like that monday evening – sitting, praying, earnestly seeking God, not being so concerned about our self-image, but daring to be vulnerable together before His face? Trusting in His love, and seeking His guidance.
“There must be more than this
O breath of God, come breath within
There must be more than this
Spirit of God we wait for You ”
- Tim Hughes (Consuming Fire)

There is more than that. Although it would be great if we could sit silently seeking God and his guidance all the time – alone or together with good friends – he has placed us in this world to be something for others. To show, very practically, his love for all other people.
He wants us to show the world who he is – and this means that we need to go out into the world, although we know that we are not able to be perfect. We need to trust that he loves us no matter if we sometimes (maybe I should write often instead) do things that we know we shouldn’t do. And with trusting God I mean that we need to continue to try. It is not a solution to stay home and isolate ourselves because we are afraid of failing.
I don’t disagree with you! And I know that you wrote more than the last part, which is what I’ve commented. I guess I’m just writing the thoughts that popped up in my head following the thoughts your post gave me
It shouldn’t be a contradiction to your post…

And by the way – new mobile? Which one?

Sony Ericsson K810i – I’m quite happy about it
(actually the post started out from the thought that life should really be about more than getting a new mobile phone…)
