God is Spirit

To say that God is Spirit is to say that Life does care.
That the very thing that Life comes from does care.

Not by a universe that is indifferent but by a universe that is relational.
To come to the end of yourself is the center of the Christian story.
My sins prevent me from perfection.
I am ready to acknowledge that there is a God and it is not me.
When we continue to inflate our own ego, saying I can do it is not the Christian faith.
To walk in the spirit is to say that I need Your Energy.
My senses God and my rational powers have lost their imagination.
What I see is despair.
I need something that will transcend what I can see.
I need help outside of my circumstances
because my circumstances without external help will kill me.

-Rob Bell
