Making Space Part Nine of Twelve: The “It” in Space is Ever-present

Part Nine of Twelve: The “It” in Space is Ever-present

The “It” in space, the thing on the tip of our tongue, in the corner of our mind, just out of reach is the inconvenient reality of existence. Weather you profess a faith in Jesus Christ or not “It” is always there. “It” does not stops gently wooing.

When you walk through life, that “It” is like wisdom calling in the street, she calls the simple to come, she calls to those who will listen to come. And “It” has been calling since the beginning of time.

We can not clearly hear “It” calling above the noise of life. We must stop our flurry of activity or we will miss “It”. We will miss the beginning of all things. We will miss the amazing creativity that we were destined to be.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Gen 1:2

We don't have to miss the beginning of all things, of new things. He comes like a dove gently. He does not force space. He does not demand attention. 

But if we choose to make space; a void. Then He will move upon the face of our waters; in the moments of our lives. And He will create in us. He will create through us. He will recreate us into His image. Or if you like, into the image of Jesus Christ.

What a mess of ourselves we have made, and what a great hope that He can recreate us. What a relief that I don't have to stay the way that I am.

I am not bound forever to my impatient ways, because God shows us how to be patient. I am not always required to stick my proverbial foot in my mouth, because God is teaching me prudence and wisdom. 

I do not have to forever be bound by the opinion of others or the voices in my head. Because I can find my worth and my identity in Jesus Christ.

I do not have to remain self-centered. Because God teaches me to renew my mind, to take up my cross, and to become a servant. 

Doing the things on my own, being selfless for the sake of selflessness breeds bitterness, but allowing space for the Spirit of God, brings peace. Striving ceases.

I do not have to live defeated. I do not have to believe the lies of my past... because He can recreate me into something new, something wonderful. Like Kintsugi (gold repair of ceramic faults) I can be made even more precious then when I was first crafted.
