Links




Meetings between people are like links in this pattern. Any meeting not only impacts on me but also on the people linked to me.

"The greatest work of God today is not what happens in people but what happens between people."

Crossing borders


Borders
To cross or not to cross?
Move forwards or stay put?
Take on the unknown or remain with the known?
Be active or be passive?
Initiate change or hang onto familiarity?
Bring in the new or sit down with the old?
Open up to a challenge or close down with routine?
Be uncertain or be sure?

Secure border crossings
You cross knowingly.
Preparation before crossing is necessary.
Authorisation is required.
Permission to cross can be refused..
There are restrictions on what you take across with you.
There is a specific point at which you may cross.

Open border crossings
You can drift across unknowingly.
You may cross on a whim.
You are free to come and go as you please.
Permission is not necessary.
You can take across what you will
There are many points at which you can cross.

Some borders have been created by mankind to divide us from our fellow human beings.
Where are the borders that I do not cross?
What can I do to prepare to cross a border and extend my horizons?

Who is God sending you to?
