Being the chairperson of a complex, there is never a dull moment. I had received a complaint that someone was getting shocked when they use their taps, which I found very odd. Naturally I appointed an electrician to come and have a look. Turns out some pesky thieves have stolen the earth wire right out of the main city council box....fancy that!
My concern to the electrician is what is the worst that can happen...and apparently it is quite serious, electricution if you touch water and metal at the wrong point.... serious..very serious! With no earthwire the complex is dangerously live. I had to take measures to try and communciate the risk to all as quickly as possible.
The risks of being "live" are quite dire indeed. Makes me think though, if having and earthwire missing can make things dangerous, how dangerous can it be to be for us not to be deeply earthed in our relationship with Christ? How shocking can we be to those around us and how much harm can we do? I suspect the answer to that is exactly the same.... serious, very serious harm.
Being earthed in our relatioship with Christ is sometimes the only thing standing between us and a very shocking reality in our relationships with people, so best we find out who we are in Christ and find a way to keep ourselves connected to that which keeps us neutral and useful to God!
