Right In Front Of You

I had an epicly surreal moment yesterday afternoon... the second one of it's kind in the past 12 months.

If any phrase, single-handedly describes both of these events, it was the reaction I siply couldn't get past.

How did you NOT see me?

Oddly enough, I didn't have any clear direction on this post, until after this moment.

As we the church engage community today, I imagine one day as we stand before God.

I don't know this phrase sounds when delivered with the love and compassion of Christ compared to the flawed sarcasm of yours truly, but I envision a heart-broken Jesus asking soul after soul...

How Did You Not See Me??

Since the beginning of time, man & woman alike have written and shared insight and perspective, witnessing the power and awe of God displayed on earth. The miraculous has occurred as lives have been changed through people's words of love and actions of compassion have been expressed and delivered in the name and spirit of Christ.

Countless people have told eye-witness accounts of situations and circumstances that can only be explained by angelic intervention. Timing of provision or protection that can only be explained by the Hand of God moving heaven and earth. There's so much going on... I'm actually struggling for the words to accurately describe it all.

Plus, I don't think you'll read it all, even if I could.

We are relational beings. Meant to be connected with each other.
More importantly, we were meant to be connected with God.
Throug the love and blood of Jesus Christ, stepping down from Heaven, onto Earth...

How could a moment like that be missed? Yet, even when it happened... it was missed.

I imagine Christ shaking His head in disbelief.

Will you join me in prayer, that this #communitySaturday, that this would be a day that Christ illuminates hearts and minds. May the compssion of Christ draw people to seek the face of God. For the difficult and troubling places in which people find themselves, may the people of God continue to express through word and deed, the love of Jesus Christ... that in all things God would be glorified. Pray people see through the flaws of humanity, and witness the life of Christ flow from our hearts in which He resides, for those who have believed.

That we would stand in Heaven one day
And not hear a single soul utter the words of disbelief...

"I didn't see you."
