I'm sitting in a coffee shop right now.  I've got United Pursuit Band playing on itunes and am just getting work done on a web site that I'm designing.  Suddenly I'm totally overwhelmed by the goodness of God.  Do you ever have those times when all of a sudden, basically out of nowhere, God shows up.  You realize He's been there all along, but when He highlights His presence to you, you just melt.  And that is the best thing.

I had to stop working.  I had to sit and just rest in His love and grace.  Jesus is so beautiful.  I really have no words good enough to tell you about Him.  He just reminded me of some of the things He has done in my life.  It brought my heart back to a place of worship in spirit and in truth.  And that is the best thing.

It is so easy to feel so confident in doctrine and belief that we let it divide us.  NO!  Jesus brings unity.  He redeems, restores, and makes new.  Holy Spirit teaches us and ever draws us closer into the reality of Jesus.  Truth embodied.  The perfect revelation of Father God.  and the Spirit of Jesus lives in me.  The Spirit of Truth calls me His temple.  The Spirit of the perfect revelation of Father God makes His home in my body.  And that is the best thing.

I've felt worried recently.  I just graduated, have plenty of debt, and am moving overseas for a year.  I have rent to pay Monday and a speeding ticket to pay off by Wednesday.  Peace.  He clothes me.  He feeds me.  He loves me. "Fear and worry, meet Perfect love."  Wait…where'd they go?  They left the building when they heard His footstep and heartbeat.  And that is the best thing.

God, thank you.  I really couldn't have expected life to be this beautiful.  Thank you.  I never had high hopes for myself.  Thanks for giving me permission to dream.  You're so good.  I can trust you.  You're Jesus.  You're the best thing.
