breathe

i could blog about yoga, i could blog about the weather, i could blog about things i like about canada, i could blog about things i learnt today about God, i could blog about the vicious elbow in the ribs that i copped last night from my sleeping husband or i could blog about not being able to decide what to blog about.

but instead of blogging about my own thoughts today, i'll share two things that i heard/read yesterday.

first - from Saint Ireneaus "The glory of God is man fully alive"

second - "No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us" 1 John 4:12

If the glory of God is man fully alive, and if God lives in us and is made complete in us when we are loving one another. then it only makes sense that to be fully alive, we must be loving and serving one another. the is no selfishness to be found in a person that is fully alive.
to be alive, to have life, we must have breath. for us to be alive in Christ, we must have the breath of God in us. you can't breathe out if you haven't breathed in. our lives must be constantly refilled, or rebreathed (yes, i know that's not a real word), by God's breath, otherwise we will not be able to be the breath of God in the lives of others. and if we cannot love others, we cannot be fully alive.

be fully alive. breathe God in. breathe Him out. show the glory of God.
