The areas of my life today
where I must lean in and embrace hope are:
- Husband’s job
- Daily routine benefiting me and others
- Daughter’s teeth
- Our kids’ relationships with each other growing into friendships
In church two weeks ago
Garner shared this Graham Cooke quote:
“When the Holy Spirit points to a
part of our life that is not working, He is not pointing out our sin. He
is not exposing us; He is manifesting the Father. He is exposing only the
warmth, the beauty, and the radiance of who God is for us. He is also pointing
out the site of our next miracle of grace, indicating our next transformation.”
Garner quoted this in the
context of when we experience conviction.
I am grabbing ahold of this truth for every situation in which I am
wrestling with not having hope. In other
words, regardless of who is pointing to a part of my life that is not working,
I am choosing to believe that Holy Spirit is manifesting or wants to manifest the
Father; that He is exposing or wants to expose only the warmth, the beauty and
the radiance of who God is for me; and that He is pointing out or wants to
point out the sites of my next miracles of grace, indicating my next
transformations.
Another choice I am going to
make in order to lean in and embrace hope is to encounter it through the
devotional Igniting Faith in 40 Days once again. Holy Spirit has reminded to do this me several times
already.
Lastly I think I’ll take Kate’s
idea (see comment via link) and sketch out being "
Where in your life is Holy
Spirit poised to manifest the Father?
