It starts with a twinkle.

A perk. A pause. An aha.

We sense certain realities we can’t prove – that have to do with the good, the beautiful, and doing the next right thing.

It’s God. And we know it.

God’s presence, as miniscule as it often seems, is poised to become much larger than we will ever be able to perceive. It is like a tiny seed that grows into a huge bush, a pinch of yeast that turns a sack of flour into bread, a small pearl that’s worth more than the whole back forty.

Your job and my job is to embrace the twinkle of God in ways that will make it grow, develop, and mature. And grow it will, into the work, the relationship, the career, that delights our hearts – and God’s.

So let’s ask these questions: What’s twinkling in your life? What’s that perk, pause, and aha that has been on your heart? How do we nurture it? How do we give it more of us?

God isn’t known for being brash and bossy, but unassuming and unpretentious. It starts with a twinkle.
