Walk the talk: communion with God

Romans 5:12

12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—

One of the hardest things to notice when sin is present in our lives
Is how it fogs our relationship with God
Not necessarily His relationship to us
But rather our relationship to Him.
I’ve noticed when I’m focusing on material, fleshly pursuits
I tend to fade away from Him
And just like water beginning to boil
There’s a sense of uneasiness
A perturbed notion of loosing that inner peace
Only God truly provides.
The Word becomes a memory
And prayer an awkward moment
It’s at this point I realize how far I’ve wandered
From Him.

Although no one notices…because we’re “walking” the talk
Deep inside, the walk becomes just talk…

Without that indescribable inner contact with God
We miss the walk; we become just talk.

Yesterday I was reading the gospel of John while walking -literally.
A man stopped me and said:
“Wow, you look so happy!”
I smiled, because I had been walking with Jesus
His words were somehow bringing color to my skin
Lightness to my feet...
A heavenly dance to the movement of my body
And it showed in the material world.
I was completely unaware of it.

When melting with God
We’re living in a womb of peace, joy and love.
And sometimes we don’t even notice…
We’re like a baby being nurtured by his mother
Intellectually unaware yet absolutely dependent
When we’re suddenly pulled out by the forceps of life
Into the realm of men
We can’t help but
Turn back to Him.
Let our selves be immersed
Into His quiet presence.
Let our selves
Become a baby again.


Isaiah 54:10

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the
covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
