“The God revealed in the Bible – seeks to bring the seen and unseen together. His goal, one might say, is to rescue the ‘lower’ world, to restore the natural realm of fallen creation to its original state, where spirit and matter dwelt together in harmony.”*
I had looked at pictures of Niagara Falls many times. Read about how vast it was, how powerful, how much water rushed over the falls each minute, saw videos of it, met people who had walked it and yet, until the day I stood beside it I never appreciated the personal experience of the Falls. That is transposition, to join the “reputation” of the Falls with the “personal experience” of the Falls. So like our loving Father to provide abundant opportunities to ensure His “reputation” is brought to our “personal experience” through our life journey.
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
