Part 4
Spiritual direction is not a systematic process..
God is not limited to our western ideals, ethnicity, and social standings.
Searching for meaning in the organized church can often be frustrating. It is not uncommon for conservative churches to exclude people.
Finding our voice is a biblical notion: god’s voice was the power to create the cosmos. Jesus spoke words of healing, freedom, and liberation. The gospel is the “good news” –words spoken and tasted. As image bearers, our vices are symbolic of our freedom and responsibility to be creative, liberating beings.
Without the harmony of diverse voice and perspectives, we miss out on the fullness of god.
How we live on behalf of others will bear the greatest evidence of gods love.
“the more I think it over, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic that to love people….christ is more of an artist than the artists. He works in the living spirits and the living flesh, he makes men instead of statues”. –van gogh
