I write all that is below because I feel I should share a glimpse, and that is all it is, of what I have come home from. I share it with you not to make you jealous, but to create within you a longing for the things of God. We are too content. Thats what was revealed to me this morning at church, I called people to hunger, thirst, longing, to want to chase after Him, to see His words bear fruit. Read what God has said He will do, read what Jesus said about Himself and his kingdom and our authority, read it and then declare it. We are living with the bar set too low, we are far too satisfied and content with where we are and the tiny things we are asking for. How big is your God? I ask again, how big is your God? Sit under His waterfall, ask for Him to fill you so that you might be brimming, that you might be poured out to everyone you come into contact with. Stop being comfortable and satisfied. Divine discontent. I dare you to pray for it ;)

Today

I knelt with a homeless guy (James) in the rain as he told me of considering to kill himself and sell his body such was his desperation for help and money and a way out.

I spoke with a Jehovahs witness about their belief in conditional forgivenes, a gospel void of grace.

I had a relative scream in my ear as their husband momentarily lost conciousness and stopped breathing.

And in all of it...

...everything within me screamed "God loves you! Do you not know the love I know?? Please know the love I know! I want to share it with you! God loves you with such an unconditional love! James...He LOVES yoU! you are accepted and loved and planned and He KNOWS...lady, it is unconditional, it is not a work of humaness, it is of grace, He loves you! Sweetheart...there is no need for fear, there is nothing that can seperate us from THAT LOVE!!!! He loves you!"

He loves them. He loves me.

I cannot explain. But Love is reaching a whole new meaning.
