I know you have heard that new song by the Fray, "You Found Me". It is interesting because listening to the lyrics of the song provoke ideas that I have always had yet never really wrote about. Specifically---"I found God---on the corner of First and Amistad......all alone, smoking his last cigarette."
Consider that perhaps God isn't bound by Heaven. What stops him from just being someone you carelessly pass along the sidewalk? Maybe a homeless man begging you for some money or some old woman smiling as you walk by?
It is an idea that I find incredibly touching. It may sound crazy, but then again so does the idea that God, in all of his unfathomable power, isn't allowed to leave Heaven..
So maybe God, himself, is the person you are holding the door for, or smiling at, or even sacrificing a single dollar to..
what if God was one of us? A stranger on the bus trying to make his way home?
ReplyDeleteThink about it. No real, massive sanctified miracles have happened in over a 1,000 years. I think that God and the devil interfere as little as possible. that is what earth is all about i think. its like we are all Job being tested to see whether or not we have the faith.
