I'm glad God is gracious in my ignorance.
Lately in my prayers I've been convicted of requesting that God be near. Hearing the Spirit nudge me, "I am near."
Last week I led a study focusing on the missional nature of God (see previous post)--recognizing His character as already existent and pursuing un-believing people. We do not bring God to people. God is there, and our job is to recognize and join his movement.
To finish, we were listening to the hymn "O Come O Come Emmanuel." As I listened to the words, and a request for God to come. I was struck with the ignorance of the request. Again, I heard God say, "I have come."
Do you recognize God as already near? Or do you cry out assuming His absence?
Is it God or is it us?
