So thankful for words…and lots of them today. Especially the ability to write them out  instead of having them roam around this jumbled assortment that seems to equate  reality today.

Mystery.

“I never want to get to a place where I become an expert on anything.” – Bill Johnson

Those words bring a soothing calm to the frantic barage of ideas and wonderings and longings and findings that seem to be evolving in the midst of love written on a page of black and white and red letters.

Perhaps, because Bill Johnson, a hero of the faith, is giving us permission to remain like little children, preserving the WONDER of God, pressing in for more of the unknowns…the Word speaks of that….Proverbs says “it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, the glory of the king to pursue it….” We are invited by God to seek out the unknowns…and yet there is no guarantee that we have all of the answers.

God is so much bigger than understanding. He is never the same. He doesn’t come the same way every time.  Sometimes glory looks like gold-dust and feathers, sometimes it looks like broken hearts, sometimes it looks like laughter, other times it looks like still waters. He doesn’t bring us into Himself only to be reduced to all of the answers. He is an unending search for answers that are complex, fully alive, brimming with goodness, and full of peace and calm, joy and anticipation, forgiveness and freedom.

Freedom.

He Breathes

peace into the chaos.

He brings Love

into the Hurt and hardened ones.

He brings Healing to the Broken cisterns.

And Light to the  Dark.

He is really alive on the inside. And when we have Him on the inside, we really become alive.

What does this mean?

Why all of the questions?

Recently, my faith has been challenged in ways that  I would have thought not possible before.

There are those things of God, those mysteries that are being unveiled that are actually perplexing because they are confronting ideologies that I formerly thought were God, but perhaps was my limited understanding.
He is breaking off mindsets…that is scary.

But I have to have more. I must have more of YOU in me Jesus…once you’re in , you cannot go back. It isn’t possible if you want to live abudance.

Lord, give us the faith to keep asking the questions and keep seeking the answers and not satisfied with where we are, always longing for MORE. And always moved in Wonder.
