breaking the hush

For some reason, the Lord always puts people in my life who tend to see Him as black and white.  Usually analytical thinkers who lean, if not dwell on, the cynical and critical side. Well, on the other hand, I like to pitch my tent on the “there’s good in everyone” side! I’m not a very analytical thinker and really take things at face value. I do understand that there is a balance between the two and do my best to walk that line! However, when it comes to God, I have found Him to be so much more than black and white!

His Word, to me, is alive, all woven together with truths and even mysteries, songs, war, sacrifice and most importantly-Love! But, how often do some of our black and white thinkers get side tracked with the ‘do’s and don’ts,’ and proving points that they so often, like the Pharisees, forget to Love!

What about His Spirit? What is black and white about Him? His gifts and manifestations? I have found that if you put God in a box He will give you those same boundaries, and if you make Him black and white, He will give you black and white. But, if you see God, His Word, His Spirit as a prism, clothed in rainbows of living color, He too will be a God of living color and show you things beyond any of our minds can analyze!
