God incarnate

This morning as I drove to work I was listening to todays pray-as-you-go podcast (which I love). It started out with a reminder of God's presence.



This got me thinking about God being ever present in our world around us, but also in us. Which really made me thankful and appreciative that the awesome God of the universe would choose to dwell in me (and you). My mind was swirling around trying to grasp this...which I can't...so I won't even bother you with the questions...but ultimately my mind jumped to thoughts of the incarnation.



God taking on flesh, God becoming man, God living among us, God lowering himself, God serving humanity, And while the thought is not new, it hit me afresh again today.



This is what the indwelling of the spirit is all about. We can get so caught up in all beliefs, doctrines and workings of the spirit that sometimes we miss the most obvious and simplest truth.



God wants to live in us and live through us. We are to become the incarnation to the world. We are to represent God in the flesh, God living among mankind, God breaking bread with the outcasts and sinners, God reaching out, God extending invitations into his kingdom. God serving. God loving. God suffering.
