Heavenly Gems in Daily Bites: CWG Ministries Life-Engaging Blogs
Dale Cresap is a Certified CWG Facilitator posting daily devotional blogs of two-way journaling. (What is two-way journaling?) Enjoy and be encouraged!
Do you think a sense of humor is frivolous; something that has no place in a spiritual life? Consider the most Christlike people you know. Are they the most grim and humorless? Much of what passes for humor in your culture is crude and tasteless, but it need not be so.
Are you accustomed to a steady stream of talk or music? Your culture makes this available to you continuously. As a result are you uncomfortable with silence? Is there value in everything you listen to? My model of communication is one of silence interrupted by profound thoughts of revelation.
Are you surrounded by an unlimited number of needs; any one of which you could commit all your time and money to? In my time on earth I faced the same limitations you do. I could go to a finite number of places and minister to a finite number of people.
Do you prefer to make mistakes that you can catch and correct yourself, or ones that are caught by others and brought back to you? The easiest correction you can receive is that which you give yourself. Yet to have this easy form of correction you must be open to receive it.
My child I love you. I made you in my image and prepared a world for you that reflects my goodness. You have an abundance of resources for life even though you may have to labor and till to make the earth bring them forth.
Do you know the right way to worship me? My word tells you to worship me in spirit and in truth. These guidelines admit a wide range of manner and style. It is more about the attitude of your heart than the type of your music.
When a child is born the relatives will comment on what other family members he resembles. Appearance is genetically transmitted, and so are behaviors and personality traits. In the long run it matters more who the new arrival acts like than who they look like.
Do you think that the way you handle money is an indication of your character? You have a limited amount, and so you choose to buy some things and not others. My word says a great deal about money. There are talents and pearls of great price.
You leave footprints wherever you walk. If you are in snow or fresh tilled earth the footprints are obvious, but they are present even on hard paved surfaces even if they are not as easily detectable. In a greater sense you leave footprints in life as well, whether you mean to or not.
Do you wait until you are in a crisis to turn to me and seek me? Do you find that even after neglecting your daily spiritual life that I am still there to answer when you call on me?
