Bubble

Ok, think sphere, bubble, globe,…perhaps even “bubble boy” from the Seinfeld show. Hoping you get the picture of an even more enormous sphere and now see yourself floating inside of it. The sphere, of course, is God.  He has chosen you and you are His. You can feel safe with Him surrounding you in your “sphere of Him.”  You have free will.  You can make poor decisions. You are human and definitely not perfect, BUT you are surrounded by the “sphere of Him.” As I have yet again, visualized myself floating around in His care, I realize I am loved unconditionally by Him.  I am within His realm of healing and forgiveness in this sphere.  I can freely choose to accept these bountiful gifts of His grace, or I can waste my time checking out the scenery and looking for the escape hatch.

Psalm 139: 1-6 “God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand. I’m an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back; I’m never out of your sight. You know everything I’m going to say before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you’re there, then up ahead and you’re there, too—your reassuring presence, coming and going. This is too much, too wonderful—I can’t take it all in!”

God is real! He has created you and knows you inside and out.
