So I jumped out of the box - and there He was!
Musing on where I am at and how I got here, I realised that my christian life has been traced out by a series of self-applied labels, just like an old piece of luggage that has been round the world - battered, still recognisable, but only just holding together.
I believed like an 'Evangelical', I was immersed as a 'Baptist', I was topped up as a 'Charismatic', and I am now living as an 'Experiential Calvinist'. These labels have been applied by myself and have become so worn with age (except perhaps, the last one), that their meaning has been lost in the darkness of the past.
So a couple of weeks ago, I decided to tear the labels off and jump out of the box!
And just like that, I found Jesus waiting for me on the outside!
Amazing! You should try it!

I like it. But how did u get the labels off and what was Jesus like?
ReplyDeleteIf you read my first epiphany blog, you will get an inkling. Remember that God does not see the labels. So look at yourself from His viewpoint. Jesus looked like truth and love (it was a metaphorical seeing). Bear in mind that I am still working it out :O=
