I have never seen the Lord work in ways that I have this week. Nor would I have ever imagined the ways in which he has used me. The Holy Spirit is in this place and His presence is abundant.
There is brokenness all around me. As I see people lay their burdens at the cross, their walls begin to fall. We are facing our demons and receiving grace. In this place, it has been proclaimed that there is freedom from bondage. Vulnerable souls are uncovering deep wounds only to find that their fear of exposure was the hardest part. We are set free because of grace. I feel the purest cleansing of my soul. No other forgiveness can make me feel this way.
There is no direction to escape from truth here. It is locked in our hearts and has become part of our being. This truth is what makes us alive. In the midst of this relief, love wins, my heart is still and I recognize peace. The Spirit has been instilled in me.
In this place, I am connecting with the true faces of my teammates. From this moment on, our lives will never be the same. We know now what it is that we have been called to do, to further the kingdom. We face an unknown world of despair and false promises. But we will take with us this freedom.
