How open are you? To change? To new ideas? To new people? To God?
To be open to God is to be able to embrace the rich, full life that God intends for us. It is a function of faith. To be closed to God is to limit your life and to hinder all that God wants to give you. It is usually a function of fear- of the unknown, of loss of control.
Once when Jesus was healing a man both deaf and mute, he said to him, “Be opened!” I think it is something he probably needs to say to me, and likely to you as well. I know I need to have my eyes, ears, mind, heart, and spirit opened to God at all times. It is a challenge, and it takes courage. How about you?…
