Being a God Bearer

I love the way Loving God plants an idea in my mind and heart and then underscores it to make sure I get it. This started with a meditation of Richard Rohr's where he shared that we are bearers of Emmanuel. Today's student meditation from Creighton University hit the same theme. What an awesome responsibility it is to be a God-Bearer, but also what a blessed privilege. Its scary to me to think that my words and actions could affect a person's image of God. I tend to engage my mouth before my brain. I'm also strongly opinionated and can be very outspoken (or pushy) so being God-Bearer is a real challenge to me. OK God, I'm willing...Help! Love you.
