Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Im not sure if you ever saw that Steven Spielberg movie back in the late 70s called close Encounters of the Third Kind. It starred Richard Dreyfus and he played a man who came into contact with aliens. This was such a powerful experience for him and yet everyone else around him thought he was going mad. Maybe he was. And frankly, thats a bit how people treat us when all of a sudden we have a close encounter with God, the living God, Jesus Christ. People think, whats the matter with them? Did they get religion? Did the aliens get them? And its not that we exhibit any weird or strange behavior. Its just that being close to God changes us profoundly. In fact being close to Him is still changing me every minute of every day. There are so many people out there in this world who hunger to be close to God and yet never discover that sort of intimacy with Him. Its almost as though we have lost our way and we dont know how to get back. Maybe its time for a close encounter.
