‘Across time and throughout history, God’s love has touched countless people. No matter which approach or path we take, God’s presence experienced in fleeting moments creates a longing for God’s continual presence that never ends.’ ~Gayle Beebe

It can be so uplifting and energising to hear how God’s love has touched so many people. There are many stories and so many collections of beautiful moments. They all add up to something really special which doesn’t always make the headlines. It doesn’t need to either, because these stories and moments continue to evolve as part of God’s ongoing journey with us.

In our modern world, there are some who see these stories and moments as a worn out and irrelevant view of the world. It is worn out and irrelevant if we choose not to be open to the Spirit of God and choose to live in some fearful dark corner. God’s presence and energy in our world, is exciting, colourful and constantly evolving. It is a privilege to be a part of it, no matter what size that part is for us, be it tiny or something much bigger. If it has worn you out, perhaps you have been looking in the wrong place?
