Kairos moments are things that happen that affect our emotions or have an emotional impact..They are also times when we grow or mature. Take a couple of minutes to write down some “kairos” moments in your life … Then think about what the result was for you. (Growth? Lesson? Insight? What was the impact?)
Just because we go through “kairos” moments does not mean we learn anything…nor does it mean that anything changes. However, they are moments that are forever etched in our memories. For the Christian, learning and changes are all part of what we call discipleship. We can be discipled by God through events in our lives, as well as by the Pastor and the teachings of God’s Word. It has been said that “it is not what happens in our life, but how we react to what happens that matters.”
Think of life as being like a “Slinky” when you look at it straight on it is a circle…but in reality it is a series of continuous circles connected together by time. As we go back and recall these many “kairos” events in our lives, there are several things that we as Christians can look at. Perhaps we can see how God has had His hand upon our life…(This is the premise of my second book “By His Hand” – available at Amazon.com) Just a little plug! We can also see if we have grown or learned anything…We can see if we made good or bad decisions…and we can have opportunity make some positive changes, if we haven’t already. Or, we can determine not to make the same mistakes again in our lives.
If you were to sit down with a friend or family member and draw a circle…how many things could you explain about TIME or about LIFE? I pray this will help.
