*ajatusten virtaa...flood of thoughts...*
This morning I woke up feeling slightly homesick. Everything was fine, I am happy, with people i like, been eating lovely food, had inspiring and generous company around me all week, a lot of new interesting and exciting things to learn and to think about... I have a sweet warm house to live in, nice bed to sleep in... Everything is fine, even better.
Last week we talked a lot about cross-cultural living. And when we came across a terms like "hidden immigrant" and "third culture children". I love to think about these terms and ponder over their meaning.
And i have come to conclusion that us, children of God, are forever just
travellers here on earth, immigrants on a land of not our own,
and on a journey, on a way to our true Home...
And while traveling, we have amazing opportunities to see
glimpses of His Kingdom come
and will be done on earth...
And when we see these things happen,
Kingdom of God expressed,
it is when we most can feel at home.
If you have time today,
read Ezekiel 36 and ask yourself
if it is relevant to happenings in middle East
or your life today...
"I'll pour pure water over you and scrub you clean. I'll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I'll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that's God-willed, not self-willed. I'll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands."
Eze.36:25-27
"Minä vihmon teidän päällenne puhdasta vettä, niin että te puhdistutte, minä puhdistan teidät kaikesta saastastanne ja epäjumalienne kaikesta iljettävyydestä. Minä annan teille uuden sydämen ja teidän sisimpäänne uuden hengen. Minä otan teidän rinnastanne kivisydämen pois ja annan tilalle elävän sydämen.
Minä annan henkeni teidän sisimpäänne ja ohjaan teidät seuraamaan säädöksiäni, ottamaan varteen minun käskyni ja elämään niiden mukaan." Hes.36:25-27
