Making Space Part Ten of Twelve: Space For the Skeptical

Part Ten of Twelve: Space For the Skeptical 

You say, “I'm not a believer. Why would I want to give space to the Spirit of God?”

I can give you a few good reasons.
One; because, like my son, you have seen the chains that bind you and have found no way to break free.

It is the Spirit of God who says, “I bind up (bandage) the brokenhearted, and bring freedom to the captive.”

If you feel like you are in prison chains it is Jesus who paid the price for your freedom on the cross. He suffered your
punishment and mine, so that we might be set free from the trap we put ourselves in.

I am not talking about joining a social club (church). I am talking about allowing space to see if God can do what He says He will do. Allowing space to see just how real God can be.

Two; if you are brokenhearted, then space for healing is what you need. Jesus is the original miracle worker. He's the archetype of healer. 

You already know that your brokenness can't be cured by the newest self-help method. You know deep down that the things you are trying to fill up your space with can't really put back together your shattered heart.

But the love that God gave us in His death on the cross is more then sufficient to heal every single piece, fully and completely. But He doesn't stop there, He makes us more, so much more then when we first started out. 

Three; you have come to the end of your struggle to meet the standards of the world and have found it empty and dry. Whether you found great success or utter failure in your attempt to measure up to the worlds demands you have found yourself hungry and thirsty and wondering in the wilderness of life. 
 
Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." John 6:35
