Wow... has it been 3 weeks since my last post?! Time flies. To be honest, it actually seems much longer than that. Didn't just forget about my blog... but God is doing something *BIG*. BIG! I've been appropriately distracted.
Everyone always wonder if there *is* a God... and if there was one, does He actually communicate with us. Well, if you've been reading my blog thus far, you know that i believe in Jesus. Yes, the Jesus of the Bible. And i've actually *experienced* God. Can't explain how i know, but it is a *genuine* experience to sense His thoughts and love toward me. Nothing beats that. However, as much as i have experienced God in the past... it in no way prepared me for what He has done in the past 2 weeks.
When God wants to do something, He wants to DO SOMETHING. In the past 2 weeks, i've become aware of His desires to bless me and my church. He is moving, and i'm desperately trying to catch up and not get left behind. I've been a Christian for 15 years. And my relationship with God has been growing steadily. However, He is moving like a Whirlwind this time... not giving me time to breathe! The lessons, convictions, truths are coming all the time. He wakes me up early in the morning to *train* me, He reveals so much insights during the day that I have to stop Him. To those that ever asked "Why doesn't God just show Himself to me..." You don't know what you're asking... I saw a glimpse, a HINT of God's glory and I am UNDONE! UNDONE! Wow! Talk about the most thrilling experiences... beats roller coasters, scary movies, .... His touch, His glory shakes your soul.
I always knew God is loving... and when God started me on this journey 2 weeks ago, He poured love upon me... Even now, I know that all these things are an expression of His passionate love for me. But i've never really understood the vastness, greatness, and the sheer power of God who created the universe... until now. Fear of the Lord... not fear because He is mean or malicious... but the reverance that comes out of a glimpse of His greatness.
i am undone. i am floored. i cannot follow anyone else.
Jesus, you have spoiled me. One taste of You, and i am lost.
Lord, to whom shall we go, You alone have the word of life.
