Intersecting Circles
Single circles.
Intersecting circles.
Combined
circles.
Circles
have been on my mind for a few weeks. {No, my life is not
running in circles, although I feel that way at times.} We recently had a women’s conference at our
church that used circles as its focal point as a picture of the beginning of revival…the
individual. If we want to see change in
the world around us, we had better be willing to be the first changed.
Hard. Painful.
Freeing. Scary.
This
first step is so important regardless of the pain it may cause. See, we are not supposed to stay the same as
we were a year ago…we are called to grow, change. To be transformed by God through the renewing
of our mind found (Romans 12:2). This
transformation is unlike the caterpillar turning into a butterfly, it requires
work, effort, tears, and surrender. However,
unlike the caterpillar, we are not alone in our cocoon waiting for
transformation.
Whew!

As
other circles come together then begin to overlap and intersect. My circle of revival will overlap with my
sisters, and hers with a good friend and hers with another woman in the church
and so on…we become an interconnected circle, which centers on
Seeking HIM first.
I
found this graphic on-line and the portrait it paints is calming. I may think I am a lone circle trying to figure
things out, but if I stop to take a second look, I realize I am really just a small part of a bigger circle...
… the one true, triune, creator God.
