It’s amazing how God takes me back to the same places, asks me to re-visit, re-learn, and dive back into the simple truths of who He is again and again. Last night I had a brief, but beautiful, encounter with the love of God that I would like to share with you. He gave me this extremely short glimpse at a depth of His love that just completely overwhelmed me, and reassured me that this is a place He wants to take me to, deeper and deeper. But I’ve got to trust, step in faith, and actively enter into these places daily.
I was journaling through the emotions I was experiencing right after, and hope that my heart poured out is encouragement to you. This is what I wrote:
“Tonight, there was a glimpse of the depth–the inner parts, the rich colors of your love. The riches. The plenty. The abundance. It overflows. You chose me. Among all–you chose me to be here. To do this. To be with these people. Not because of anything–of any qualification other than you chose me. Your love. Your daughter. To poise and position for greatness. For the inheritance of your riches and depth. The intimacy, the love, I wish there were greater words. It goes so deep, so wide, so full, so rich, so colorful. It invades. For a split second, a gasp, a quick breath, you catch me. You open my eyes and heart to the fullness. To the place that is whole and true. To the depths of who you are. You. You open it up to me. It’s not about who I am, but who you are. I am because you are. It doesn’t stop. It’s always here. I want it daily, Father. This deep, colorful, vulnerable place. It is like gems, colorful pieces of stained glass. The color through the light is radiant, brilliant, overwhelming. Blues and purples. So rich. So full. Embracing all of me.”
