Now, I can’t do that all the time, but there are times when I choose to do what I can.
I leave a little room for the Holy Spirit.
5. You Can, Too
Ironically, you probably can’t have those kinds of conversations with everyone in your life. My appeal is to have them with someone. Occasionally.
If you are a pastor, take a fellow pastor (maybe from another denomination) out for coffee. Show up at the workplace of someone from church. Just talk to a random stranger on a park bench—and see what door that opens.
Consider them divine encounters if you will.
And I am not telling you to say, “Look at me.” Rather, I want you to hear, “You can too.”
If you will leave a little room for the Holy Spirit.
6. Your Downtime May Be a Blessing for Another
These are just a few of the random things I do to pour into others while learning some things myself. I find that this randomness is good for my soul.
Whether your lifestyle is like mine or not, we all have a tendency to get stuck from time to time. We need more than our regular routine. We need to receive and give outside of our bubbles.
Leave a little room for the Holy Spirit.
