Ever go to someone’s house just to sit in the hallway? You hang up your coat. You kick off your shoes to get comfortable. Then you sit in the chair by the door. Sadly, everyone else is sitting in the living room with the host.
Doesn’t make much sense does it. Yet, that is what I have been doing at church. I am speaking of the spiritual house not the physical structure. You can be in the building but not “in” God’s house.
When I first started coming to Crossfire I was sitting in the “hallway”. A little over a year ago I was standing in the doorway to the “living room”. All the while the Spirit kept inviting me to enter in deeper. Recently I have taken a step into the living room. I have little chats with the host and He with me. Someday I hope to sit down with everyone else and simply listen to the host as He pours out a spiritual drink from the cup of life.
I started coming to Crossfire like an abused dog lying down and keeping its distance. Now I wag my tail on occasion as the master pets me. Better things are ahead.
