truthtelling



Henri Nouwen once confessed the following about truthtelling:

"I am beginning now to see how radically the character of my spiritual journey will change when I no longer think of God as hiding out and making it difficult as possible for me to find him, but, instead, as the one who is looking for me while I am doing the hiding."

Over the last 10 weeks, we have seen several people at Rejoice understand for the first time that God is pursing us and we can stop hiding from His love and forgiveness! When was the last time you stopped to thank God for finding you? Do you have any other things in your life that you are afraid to confess to God?

Hidding from God, almost seems like a silly statement but we do it all the time. I know that I do it even when i don't think i am by just stopping my communication with him. Sometimes intentional, sometimes just because I'm too busy.
