Just been getting sidetracked in reading blogs and came upon this blog and nearly at the bottom I came upon this song I haven't sung in a very long time - be my everything listen to this. It made me reflect for a while on how as Christians of every tradition God longs to be in everything we do and speak. This past week (see previous blog) has been a hard week for quite a few people and in my opinion God was not present in the way some people dealt with other people.
We heard about the present presence one day in a 'sermon' and I think this is what the song is talking about - about God (presence) being present in all our thinking, doing, speaking, feeling and about allowing His presence to be priority for our lives.
When we 'allow' His presence to be priority, our agenda ought to diminish, but too often we let our agenda (our presence) take over and then our ego is inflated when actually it should be deflating.
When we let our lives be God focused, love should emanate and yet we don't see this - by their love you will know them - see how these Christians love one another - I count myself in this - when do I show love for the people I have problems with, the co-travellers who rub me up the wrong way, the people who ask stupid questions (in my opinion) but actually they aren't stupid at all!! the people who are scared to voice an opinion in case they are ridiculed... the people who seem to be arrogant but who are probably just hiding feelings of insecurity
what do you think?
