Sharing a Moment With Anyone:

By Dean Miller


The basic research of human conversation is a complicated art. It seems simple but there are many barriers that get in the way. There are barriers within us, as there are barriers within the other person. Some barriers are situational, whilst other boundaries we struggle with all our lives. But gaining a rapport, setting up a moment of friendly intimacy, is not that hard. If we are able to attain one moment of authentic connection with one more person, we are capable to achieve several of these. It all is dependent on how vulnerable we are in their presence, and how prone they allow by themselves to be in ours.

It is a huge misnomer that we are fragile if we show weeknesses. No, if we are purposely vulnerable we show amazing strength. And we are not prone just for the sake of it, we are susceptible to invite others' susceptability - we trust them with our weeknesses so they might trust us with theirs. This is the only way an intimate relationship may be formed. And let's just get this right; Jesus desired that we would be willing and available for others, appreciating that we often want others prepared and available for us.

The issue of vulnerability is an important one. We cannot assume somebody else to be susceptible - to be available to be in effective relationship - unless we model the conduct. When we do to others what we wish them to do to us, it begins from us. And we have to understand that being prone won't be repaid in kind all the time or even most of the period. But we need to be prepared to show the durability of character in the will to connect. We cannot turn such a thing on and off. It requirements to be part of our basic operation in all our connections - besides where it would be freely abused.

A second, in this speak, is a moment that is transformed by the power of God; where a momentary bond between two individuals is achieved through common trust and respect. Upon such a second we note the Presence of God. Achieving a moment such as this goes beyond all cultural norms and enters the realm of Divinity. We go from a state of many sociable fears into a state of relaxed for the holiness in such a instant. God is there in our midst, within and between both the protagonists. Only one of these moments is needed and the connection between these two people is solidified.

The maximum of human experience is the information of God in relationship with another person. When we not only know God, alone, but now in the company of another, our pleasure of God is doubled. The power of the changed life is the ability to confidently and vulnerably share a moment with an additional person. When we can be available and honest we are safe to be with. Folks love to interact with people who are safe and sound to be with. Be risk-free to be with.
