Good morning…
“LORD!” he began our gathering reciting words from Christian mystic Evelyn Underhill. “Give me courage and love to open the door and contain You to enter, whatever the disguise You come in, enter before I fully recognize my guest.”
“Come in!” he whispered aloud. “Enter my small life.”
“Lay Your sacred hands on all the common things,” his gentle voice became a prayer, “and small interests of that life and bless and change them. Transfigure my small resources, make them sacred. And in them give me Your very Self. Amen.”
…suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him (2 Corinthians 3:16b-18, MSG).
