As you can see, I found myself intrigued by windows as we traveled
in the various countries of southeast Europe. Windows into Europe’s
past. Windows that have seen many changes over time. I wonder what these windows could tell of the soul of Europe.
I am reminded of a book a close friend gave me years ago for my
birthday, Windows of the Soul, by Ken Gire.
Within our hearts is a longing - a profound cry of the soul for
something our theologies can only point us to, never replace.
Intimacy with God.
Something that has no human or earthly substitute.
Yet, if we pause to listen, we will discover how often God speaks to
us through human and earthly means. He stands at the windows of
the easily overlooked and the unlikely, tapping at the pane. He beckons us to places of encounter where we learn how well he understands the language of our hearts.
At unexpected windows of the soul, we hear the voice of God.
Oh, how I pray that unexpected windows would open to those in Europe giving them a fresh way of seeing, hearing, and enjoying the presence of God!
