SWIRLS OF NURTURE

Sometimes I feel like a creator, sometimes I feel like a teacher,  sometimes I feel like a worshipper, 
sometimes I just feel three worlds swirling, colliding, morphing into new worlds . . 
. . . yet with each swirl the need to nurture . . .
. . . nurture midst fragile creations, vulnerable artists, emotive questioning soundscapes, wondering and wandering thoughts, midst a church wondering how to create in the image of the One who created all.

An Encouraging Scripture

I was in the midst of writing these insights on the day my wife and I read today’s scripture passage. I had no plan to use these verses. However, verse after verse seemed to expand the truth of God caring about every detail of our life. In the midst of COVID-19, as well as every crisis we may face in a lifetime, God’s Holy Spirit is given to us so that we can understand the things of God because the Holy Spirit, who “searches everything, even the depths of God, comprehends the thoughts of God”. We cannot imagine what God has prepared for those of us who love him.

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. 

For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.  For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
​ 

 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.  1 Corinthians 2:9-16
