Windows, Mirrors and Doors

On occasion, reading the Bible can be challenging, not just understanding the era and context of what is written; but also, considering what a particular passage might mean for me, in my current life circumstances.

I therefore really enjoy finding tools that help me consider scripture in different ways.  At our Sacred Space meeting last weekend, we used an exercise simply entitled: Windows, Mirrors and Doors.  It was very helpful.

WINDOWS 

Looking out … What do we see of God here? What are the key truths? What is the challenge to me, personally? What inspires me?



MIRRORS 

Looking in … How does what I have read make me feel? What do I think? What can I learn here? Does this scripture challenge my worldview? Does it challenge my self-esteem?



DOORS 

‘Go and do likewise’ … What have I learned, what will I take away from this Word? How should I respond? In what ways can I “go and do likewise”? Am I challenged to ask more or discover more through this?
