Observe

Have you ever been able to step back and observe yourself. You know that you can. Think about it. When you say, "I was saying to myself......" There are two people in that sentence. There is a part of us that has always been the observer of our life. Think about it for a moment before you reject this idea. Your body has grown older, you have had many life experiences, and there is a part of yourself that has never grown old and has seen things in your life through the same, whether you were 5 or 50 years old. Look back on your life and think about, see it, feel it and listen to your life. When you remember these things, the part of you that does never really changes. You are the observer of your life, this is the part of you that is eternal and spiritual! The eternal and spiritual part of you has always been the same and always will be the same.

Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.
Ephesians 5:1-2
Step back and let this eternal and spiritual part of you observe yourself and how God is working in your life. You can actually watch God working like you watch yourself in your dreams. What makes this so important? It is important because if you can do this, observe your life, you can become more aware. If you become more aware you can change, love, and be more like God in your giving and living. You get to see how God works and if you can observe it you can copy it, you can be it, you can become it. This is how change happens!
