day 342: 3-D

We are fascinated by the advancement of 3-D video technology at the movie theater and on television. I find it interesting that we are stunned while we watch these events but day-in and day-out we live in a 3-D world and we take it for granted and don't ooh and aah when we look at a tree, or see someone walking down a hall towards us. I would say that most of us don't even think about it beyond everything around us being just the way it is. Work can be that way as well. There are so many dimensions to our work, our relationships, our careers, etc. but we don't ooh and aah much about these either. Much of our work is done in a very singular dimensional way with our heads down, focused on what is most important to us at the present time and not factoring in much else. In actuality though, everyone else around us, wants us to operate with them in closer relationships, thinking in longer-terms, and deepening our ability to work with each other. We would be better served to consider and factor in all dimensions within our work and how we personally work. God gives us every dimension in how He relates to us. We read in Ephesians 3:18 that He brings every dimension to bear with His love for us; "And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is." As we think about how we can work within and to our purpose, we can start by adding in the other dimensions so that we become more and more full in our ability to relate, support, work and yes, love one another in all dimensions.
