Oh yes, I was thinking that there is so much that happens in the world that happens without us knowing that it happens. At times, we treat the world like everything can be explained. I mean, so much of our effort and energy goes into trying to put words to the human experience. We have the news, which drolly reports all sorts of inane as well as some important happenings. There are billions of books that try to explicate what is and imagine what isn't. Then we beings here fill up the air with rantings and retellings of all we have endured. There's some blogs.The air and the ground get full of words and all the while, more often than not, it seems that God is silent. I start to think that maybe God wants to reach us, touch us, and commune with us on a different level, that he gets tired of all the words and just wants to move in spirit within and around us without having to explain everything. There is the whole spiritual realm that we don't talk about because it's really hard to. You have to feel it.

This post reminded me of a verse I read recently where Jesus says "Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit."
ReplyDeleteI was amazed that Christ himself did not try to put this phenomenon in words. And I know I can think of people's lives who have been changed in this way and it truly is beyond explanation.
I wish I had put that reference in. That's excellent - thanks! Now I will think of that passage that way and it's beautiful.
