nouwenSeeing God for Others

The experience of the fullness of time, during which God is so present, so real, so tangibly near that we can hardly believe that everyone does not see God as we do, is given to us to deepen our lives of prayer and strengthen our lives of ministry.

Having experienced God in the fullness of time, we have a lifelong desire to be with God and to proclaim to others the God we experienced.

 Peter, years after the death of Jesus, claims his Mount Tabor experience as the source for his witness.  He says:  "When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes ... when we were with him on the holy mountain" (2 Peter 1:16-18).  Seeing God in the most intimate moments of our lives is seeing God for others.
