revelation

Our perceptions of the world shape the way we relate to the world. In a similar way, our perception of God shapes the way we relate to God. If we think that God is small, then weΓÇÖll live our life in a way that reflects that. If we think that God does not love us, then weΓÇÖll spend each day living in a way that reflects that.

I really enjoy Instagram. ItΓÇÖs a platform that I love sharing aspects of my life on. ItΓÇÖs great to see what my friends are up to when IΓÇÖm away or to hear the latest news from my family. ItΓÇÖs incredible to have a platform that gives the opportunity for people to express themselves and share whatΓÇÖs on their mind to the world.

One of the great mysteries of our faith is how our God is totally infinite yet completely intimate. He holds the world together, yet still holds our hearts within his hands. He split seas and calms storms, yet breathed into our very being to give us life. He speaks and the seasons change, yet he knows every tiny detail of our lives.

Life can be pretty turbulent, full of sudden ups and downs, highs and lows, circumstances and detours that can throw you off. If you donΓÇÖt have something to latch on to, to anchor your life on, it can feel like youΓÇÖre constantly being thrown around by the circumstances of life.

My husband Tom wasnΓÇÖt brought up as a Christian. At the age of 18 he was invited along to a church gathering for students and experienced something of God for the first time. Later that year he gave his heart to Jesus and that changed the trajectory of his life forever. If you speak to Tom he will tell you that his personal revelation of Jesus came when he was 18, but his awareness of God being with him throughout his life was constant. Whether or not you are aware of God doesnΓÇÖt change the fact that you are surrounded by him.
