My computer just died on me so today’s post is going to be really short because I hate typing on my phone.
I said I’d report back yesterday, about whether I sensed God’s presence in tangible ways throughout the day. No-one who knows anything of God’s true and generous nature will be surprised by this, but yes! He was so present to me! This mostly took the form of being haunted by Colossians 3. Let me explain.
For some reason this week, I’ve been drawn back again and again to Colossians 3, a passage I’ve always loved. Although I’ve always loved it, I’ve never experienced it to be as apt for almost every situation I’m facing as I have this week.
In moments of anger in class, reminders to “rid myself of all such things as these” and “clothe [myself] with compassion, kindness.” For an old grudge, a call to “forgive one another” and “bear with each other.” For almost every other moment, a gentle reminder that I am “holy and dearly loved.”
The Lord is and has been present to me. Hallelujah.
