BUBBLE

I continue to struggle with being a bubble resident. It turns out the Christian bubble is pretty thick and way tougher than most bubbles I've seen.

Person A will ask: 'Shouldn't we be close friends with other Christians?'

Person B: 'I just pray my kids will have Christian friends. It's so easy for them to be polluted by unbelievers.'

Person C: 'Doesn't the Bible say we're supposed to be salt and light in the world? How can we be light if we're in places that are light when we get there?'

The bubble may be one of those places that allows believers to be believers without being tested. Living outside of it might be one of those things we have to commit to day by day. Even though we know it is Biblically best for us to live outside the bubble, we may continually experience tugs back to its safety, comfort and convenience.

Let's make a pact to keep popping the bubble.

And be blessed.

That would be the true test of faith. The holy spirit indwells in us, so we should be able to rely on his strength. Another step in our growth....

Honestly, sometimes i find it more difficult to be in the bubble with other believers. than to be out of the bubble with non believers. I have seen Christians write off other Christians far too quickly for circumstances they don't understand...The Holy Spirit is our strength but also, He is our new Identity. No matter what has happened in the past.

The bubble should have a revolving door. Go out for work and in for rest. Just don't spend too much time in either place.
