existence

 God is not just found by a process of elimination. God, Jesus Christ, is living and I notice the rhythms of his life all around me. I notice him in the eyes of people. I notice him in the laughter and joy. I notice him in the tears of lament and the longing for a new world. I find him in the nations, the diversity, the beauty, and the contrast.
I notice God everywhere.
Sometimes I wonder, how can God be so alive to me and seem so dead to others....
"When we act like God is dead, it is not God who dies but we do!" - Ram Sridharan-
I have found myself just crying out to God to come alive in me and for others! 
"come alive to our hardened hearts!"
JESUS CHRIST, he is fully alive, resurrected and seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. 
his WORD is living and active.
and his HOLY SPIRIT has created, is sustaining, and remains in this world. 
He exists. 
I notice him in the planting of seeds,
the transformation into a butterfly, 
the spreading of yeast, 
the making of a pearl, 
and the death and life cycle in my own life. 

Today I am praying that God would use our doubts and questions to break our hearts and prepare the soil for harvest. 
Praise
To 
You,
Lord 
Christ.
