It's not over yet....

Our relationship with God is a living, breathing, growing phenomenon.  Like moving water, like the waves breaking on the shore, it never remains static, but is always in motion, like the thoughts of our hearts.  Even when the waters of the sea appear still and calm, powerful currents are moving underneath, bringing life to all the creatures of the sea. 

The Holy Spirit, like those silent currents, is always moving and searching the mind of God, making us aware of the unseen motions of God's love in us, bathing us, changing us, renewing us.  God is always "washing our feet," renewing our spirit, healing our wounds.  Even when nothing seems to be happening on the surface, His powerful currents are still moving in our lives. 

We must trust the Author and Finisher of our faith to complete in us the work He has begun.  One of my favorite quotations, even though I don't remember its source, is this:  God, it seems to me, is a verb.  Probably only an English teacher can appreciate this quote, but the definition of a "verb" is "a word that expresses action or being."  Verbs are not static, but moving.  Even the verb "is" implies movement---a table "is," but science tells us that within that apparently "still, unmoving" object, atoms are spinning in huge amounts of space.  If that is true of a table, how much more true of our lives!  Life is dynamic, ever-changing, ever-renewing, ever-healing of old wounds----why should we not allow the Divine Energy to bathe us with His all-powerful light and healing waters?
