What if I missed it?
I love God.
I believe in Jesus.
I'm going to heaven.
I'm better than the general population.
If someone asks, I tell them about Jesus.
I thought that I had the key to life. I thought that I had it figured out. Occasionally, I would think that there was something missing. I remember asking Jessica once, what if I am only going to be a luke-warm Christian forever.
But what if I missed the main point.
I thought the main point was to not go to hell.
Boy oh boy… I was wrong. Really wrong.
The main point is intimate loving relationship with God.
The chief end of man is to love God and enjoy him forever.
⇒Enjoy⇒
Enjoy God.
I missed it.
I missed enjoying God.
But I'm not missing it anymore.
I have seen God heal the soul and the body. Miraculous healing.
I have heard God's voice and had back and forth conversations.
I have been honored to hear the story of a man interrogated by the KGB for his faith in God.
I have seen God's face in the smile of a gypsy child.
God has visibly changed my life during my few months away.
I have been given new understanding of Bible verses that have frustrated me for years.
God is real. He is alive. He is active.
And He loves you. This took me a while to truly understand. Like 20 years.
He loves me.
He doesn't love me because I am good or obedient or worthy.
He doesn't love me because I am pretty or strong or good at something.
He just loves me.
He loves me.
He. Loves. Me.
And he loves you.
Because he loves you.
Period.
Don't miss it.
Enjoy God.
He loves you.
Fullness of love
I cannot describe
To walk in the sureness
Of love
And hope and incredible mercy
I believe in Jesus
I love God
And sometimes
I acted like it
I thought this was enough
But I was missing out
I did not know
That God could speak to me
That I am worthy
To hear his voice
I was never told
That miraculous healing
Is real
And God chooses my prayers
To effect the physical world
I never considered
That words are so influential
They can change the world
Words can decay the soul
Or empower the spirit
Nobody told me
That friends who
Speak the truth in love
Are friends
Straight from God
Fullness of life
Is more than worth it
The rollercoaster
Or tears and laughter
The nearness of the Father
