close the gap
It’s time to start closing the gap.
The gap between what I say I believe and what I actually experience in the “real world.” The gap between the God I experience on a Sunday morning and the God that I experience at my work place.
The gap, what is it? It is the space between who God really is and what our experience of that reality is. Some of us experience the gap in our prayer life, some in our relationships with others, some in sharing our faith with pre-Christians, some it is with our fear.
The point is this we have all these gaps, we don’t actually know it or see it and so we don’t seek to close them.
May we get really uncomfortable with the gaps. May we not be comfortable with saying Jesus is the only sources of life but not actually ever sharing that reality with those around us who don’t know that.
May we not be comfortable with worshiping “The Prince of Peace” on Sunday and worrying ourselves silly the rest of the week.
It’s time to feel the gap, to get really uncomfortable with the gap, get desperate enough that we willing are to do the “work” (anything of value requires it) to make what we say is real and how we live to line up.
It will be a process, so get comfortable with the journey, but whatever you do, don’t get comfortable with the gaps.
