June 10th, 2021: GOD's Creativity is Our Imagination

 

Curb Site" pick up has become a common phrase among many businesses. It has been part of the adaptation of the business world to the challenges of Covid-19. It was kind of funny to learn how many people in our neighborhood don't cook. Some days we could see waves of Skip the Dishes, Door Dash, Uber delivery vehicles, and more. And here I am, BBQ my own 🍔. Businesses that have been able to make such an adjustment seem to perform pretty well. They also provide a much-needed service for many people who have apprehensive about being outside.


It didn't stop there. I stopped and listened to a Curb Side Concert in a community next to mine last week. It was a country music performer, and folks were very excited to gather around. We are close to the time of the Annual Calgary Stampede when this city turns western for ten days. We didn't have it last year, so many people are waiting for it this year. His selection of music was both joyful and healing. That was what people need, hope and fun.


God is the author of creativity. We should pray that we are always able to come up with something special to replace something that is missing. When we seek God first, we should not be afraid of not knowing what to do. We should not worry about the loss of freedom to worship. We should be more concerned about our lack of imagination to come up with new expressions of worship. Worship demands more than our ability to gather together. It calls for the sincerity and humility of our hearts when we come to God's presence. What is the beauty of worship when we curse others?


Luke 1: 37

"For nothing will be impossible with God."

Aug 31st, 2024: Confession

Image
Dealing with pain sometimes affects our ability and flexibility. A physiotherapist friend gave me a set of home exercises to help with that. They are simple yet intense at the same time. Dealing with our human brokenness sometimes affects our ability to see and hear God. Our commitment to spiritual disciplines must be at the core of our relationship with God. One of the disciplines I have been trying to embrace more fully is confession. It’s not just about recognizing where we have gone wrong; it’s about how we have chosen to live our lives independently from God. It’s about whether we truly want God to be part of our lives. The absence of meaningful confession will damage our freedom to experience intimacy with God. "Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy." - Proverbs 28:13

Sept 4th, 2024: Praying in Images

Image
It has been a rough few days. Living in immense pain does not allow us much energy to think about anything. I ended up praying in images, and not many words came out of my mouth. Most of the images were of people I know. God knew that I was praying for them as their faces came to my mind. I did not need to mention the circumstances or situations of their lives—He knows. My heart was at peace as I ended my days with these images. He will take care of my body, and I know this because I was able to get some sleep. Tomorrow is in His hands.

Oct 1st, 2022: Be With Those Who Suffer

Image
  Listening to a young woman who shared her experience of being raped repeatedly by a family member for over four years as a teenager made my heart ache. The man who did that was a leader of a church. He was imprisoned for seven months and released. He was her stepfather. Her mother chose to pick him over her after his release. Her life has changed forever. She had to go to a foster home. Her foster parents helped her with her restoration and her faith in God. Her supervisor at work asked me to see her because someone at work was inappropriate toward her. That triggered many emotions within her. I did not expect the story I heard from her. The meeting took longer than I thought, and it was toward the end of the day. She kept talking about her anger and the pain she felt when men treated her like a subject. I knew that the best I could do was to listen. She told me she had not been able to tell anyone as much as with me. God reminded me of the true calling of being a pas...
