See What God Has

It is cool to hear you talk about things God does in your life. I mean, I am not really surprised that God is up to something, He’s God He’s up to things. But, so many times we don’t talk about it. Or worse, we don’t even notice. So, Heather, thanks for the comment, and to those that shared at TWNTDNHAN(Y), thank you. I must confess that I am tired. Been tired all week. I am not sure why, at least mostly, there was the little dad in the hospital thing and nine month old baby. But what can I say, that’s life. I just failed to get something posted to the blog. At least until now.
For those of you that are reading this to find out what happened Wednesday, you did not miss much. We left early, did not even make coffee. Apparently I was not the only one tired. We prayed, talked, threw a knife at the ceiling and left for Atlanta Bread Company. The bread company was closed, so even then the night really did not go anywhere.
But, nay nay, the night did not leave me hanging. God is working amongst us. I do not really now what He has in mind, but I am seeing signs. Little ways to love seem to be making themselves available in and around the groups influence. It is exciting. I went into group this week with absolutely nothing. We had some prayer request and just form the prayer request I was again shown love from another perspective.
We can talk about loving the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, body, x, y, z and loving our neighbor as our self: such a simple concept. Really, that directive is quite simple. But the ramifications are vast. I am convinced that we can never do it; grasp the life altering realness of such an act, at a Wednesday night gathering. But I do know that if we listen and focus we can see God at work all around us. See Him loving folks; see Him using others to love, even be used in His plan to love folks. However, we seem to miss the point by being too focused on what we want. Be God focused, love the Lord your God with all your x, y, and z. Then it seems that loving your neighbor as your self tends to flow naturally.
I confess it is difficult. We seem to have a natural tendency to turn in on ourselves. We tend to our needs first, and then throw the leftovers to the neighbors, and God for that matter.This week as you go on about your day-to-day whatnots challenge yourself to notice God at work around yourself. Love Him and see Him. I write this fully aware that this is easier to say than do. But it requires no major production, no rituals, and no tracks. Just go about aware in your heart. Love God; look to see what He is doing for someone else.
