Thinking outside the box is often seen as boxing outside the ring. Thinking outside the box is however not about fighting or rebelling against the status quo in any way.
God assisted humankind since creation but every time man tried to crawl back into a box somewhere. When Adam and Eve sinned, they looked for a box to hide themselves in. God took them out of the garden, which was not a box and then He put them in the open world, but He never left them nor forsake them and He never boxed them.
We often feel lost in the world and manage to build boxes around us with man-made rules. You must do this in this way in this place at this specific time in order to achieve that and if you don’t like that, sorry, the box rules.
Jesus took us out of the “you must” box for good. We are free to worship Him every second, everywhere, anytime while trusting in His presence all the time.
Often we tend to move back into the old box again. “I have sinned and need redemption all over again. I need money and need to sow the little I have in order to get more. I need wisdom and need to speak to my minister about it and ask his advice.”
Jesus took us out and then He burned the box. “I am with you, I have paid for all your sins. I will tell you what to do and even what to say. Just speak to Me and listen to Me.”
“Burn your box. You are free to live a new life in My presence. Trust in Me and when you talk to Me, stop starting your sentences with ‘but’.”
“Surrender to Me. Breathe and feel free to walk back to Me, back to where you left My hand when you fixed your eyes on your problems around you. Don’t you know that I see them too?”
“Now get out of the box and start being you, the beautiful human being you. Human being means you are be-ing, you are alive. I did not stay in the tomb, I am alive. However, I cannot share My being with you if you prefer your box, being on your own instead.”
“Live in this world without the wearisome, manufactured achievements, borrowed solutions, second-hand subjective wisdom, temporary safety and false insurance. I am all you need because I am. All I ask of you is to be box free. Believe in Me!”
