Is it not amazing?

I was overcome with such wonder and amazement today as I (once again) reflected on the Sovereign power of God.

The internet is a vast, largely untapped, cyber-world of relationships and sharing of thoughts. A tool for people to connect from every corner of the Earth. We have slowly been working our way towards mechanisms and vessels that allow our thoughts and cultures to reach the far ends of this planet we live on.

We began on foot. Travelling for days, weeks...months and years to reach other cultures. We incorporated animals to relieve our burdens and give rest to our aching feet.

Using innovative tools, we then carved out 'riding machines' and used the seemingly unlimited energy from large animals to move around. This allowed for quicker travel and more exploration. Boats were also an efficient means to reach out to others and form symbiotic relations and trade agreements.

Bring in the motor vehicle and our world became even more accessible. Telephones, planes, space ships.....all these wondrous machines that would physically take us to new places, or verbally connect us with new worlds.

Amazing to reflect on all these tools.

That's when I began to question, "For what purpose?"

There are the practical reasons: expand trade, seeking more food, the need for more land as the population grew.....and the human reasons: curiosity and adventure!

And at the very basic level, communication. A desire to share the lessons and love that had been shown in each of our lives with others who may or may not have similar stories. Exchanging new innovative ideas to make living easier.

To reach out to the hurting and show them the way to comfort.

I have been encouraged and surprised when I come across fellow Christians living worlds away who have the same understanding and passions as myself....all of it serves to build on the gift of Faith I've been given. We worship and serve the same God!

God causes all things to come together for Good. Including the internet. I know that I have experienced His love through others, and I do my best to give back. Both face to face and through a computer screen.

We are inching closer and closer to the point where every single person will have heard of God's love for the world.....regardless if they accept it or not. Now that is amazing.
